About The Artwork
"Astride the Whisper of Chaos," a series by Hunter Wild Drawing upon a Platonic sense of the Erotic as a striving toward the Infinite, this series connects the development of the human form to a relentless desire to explore and traverse the unfolding Universe. Humanity rides on that first turbulent breath flowing out from the birth of the Cosmos. The elements of our bodies share the same origin and have moved from ancient gas clouds through the creation and destruction of stars to land eventually in the stream of life. The arresting beauty of our bodily forms and the possibility of the Erotic are, in this way, subtracted from nebulae now lost in the depths of space and time. "Astride the Whisper of Chaos" is a series that begins as all my work does, with the free flow of watercolor pigment across a polypropylene surface. A technical milestone is marked for me here, though, with the subtraction of the human figure from the abstraction that usually serves as the completed form of my work. There is no deviation, however, from my drive to integrate process, product, and content with a focus on beauty as a bridge between substance and audience.

Hunter Wild was a video game designer and entrepreneur in Houston, Texas, before pursuing a degree in philosophy at the University of North Texas, which he received in 2008. After marrying his wonderful partner the following year he began to draw and paint prolifically with no art training or education and with no external impetus, largely focusing on watercolor on plastic. When this proved unrelenting he enrolled again at UNT for a degree in drawing and painting but became quickly disenchanted by the program, withdrawing after the first semester to pursue his own directed education. Within the first few months of epic studio sessions, often consisting of 90 hour weeks and the occasional 40 hours straight through, he had a number of group shows displaying his abstract watercolor on polypropylene work. Still an autodidact, Hunter Wild has anchored himself as an experimental watercolorist with a penchant for colorful, existential abstraction, but has been developing a subtracted figuratism in his more recent work, which clarifies a certain sense of direction. As Pierre Soulages said, "It is what I do that teaches me what I am looking for."
