Newel Hunter
“It’s not about the paint. Or the canvas. It’s about digging deep enough to stir the soul.”    For Newel Hunter, a painting is not merely a visual object but a portal into the deeper currents of the human spirit. This philosophy underscores the physical and emotional intensity that defines his process. Although deeply individual, Hunter’s work is also grounded in an artistic lineage that draws from both European and American traditions of abstraction. His philosophy of embracing chance, his reliance on gesture, and his dialogue with the history of abstraction results in highly creative, soul-deep work that is impossible to ignore.

A college degree in Journalism combined with a lifetime studying the nuances of abstractionism deeply informs his art.  Franz Kline, Robert Motherwell, Clyfford Still, Hans Hofmann, Gerhard Richter, Willem de Kooning, and Pierre Soulages resonate strongly within his practice.

His inclusion as one of only 44 international artists featured in Aleatoric Art in the 21st Century further underscores his unique place in contemporary art. At 240 pages, this coffee table-sized volume has become a definitive exploration of chance and randomness in modern creative practices. Hunter’s presence within it affirms his role as a leading voice in the ongoing dialogue between intention and accident, control and surrender.  His continuing commitment to this vision has earned him recognition well beyond his studio.

Hunter has exhibited extensively across the United States and Europe, with his works entering the collections of international collectors who value the intensity and authenticity of his approach.  Other major publications include: Artfolio 2020 & 2021. These beautiful coffee table-sized books feature “A curated collection of the world's most exciting artists” as decided by an international jury of professional artists, museum curators, gallery owners, art consultants and collectors. And he has appeared twice in nationally-juried Studio Visit Magazine, Volumes 17 & 39.
