About The Artwork

*Dimensions listed include frame* This is the fourth piece in the ‘Hunter’ series, examining traditional views of masculinity. In a slight departure from the other pieces in the series, the use of grand warrior adornments has been kept to a relative minimum. Instead the focus is on the subject’s extremely aggressive expression and body language, bathed in dominating shadow, and the fluorescent war paint contrasting with this darkness. Through the use of the lurid flourescent war paint and the sword, we can see that this individual is presented as a warrior to be feared, but this is betrayed as we are lead around the piece. While the designs of the war paint start with chevron scars and similar banding, they soon morph into the child-like and cute bunny rabbit designs. In a fashion similar to the other pieces in the ‘Hunter’ series, the very adornments that bring up traditional notions of masculinity have been worked to have precisely the opposite effect, revealing these notions as perhaps superficial and even themselves childish

Largely lacking formal training as an Artist, Huck has spent years studying the principles of visual art as well as learning techniques from other Artists that inspire him. This freedom has allowed him to readily adopt tried and tested methods, as well as find which principles he would deviate from to develop his craft and style. The purpose behind Huck’s work is to explore and challenge archetypes (like the Hero or the Maiden) that are shared among different cultures regardless of barriers like geography or ideology. He is especially inspired by how these cultural or mythological images can be worked to transcend boundaries between viewers. Huck focuses on specific aspects of these common archetypes, such as the nature of masculinity as found in a hero/ warrior figure. His work often takes aim at these traditions, whether through humour or by darker means. In terms of style, Huck is drawn to figurative realism and symbolism. True representation of nature has not been emulated in his work however, as he has come to favour more of a loose approach in technique, often using impasto alongside glazes, as well as indulging in exaggeration of colour and shadow in much of his work.
