Jerome Hunt is an artist with an eclectic and personal view.

In his work the effects of light and shade coalesce upon images that are suspended in time. These subjects interpret the play of sunlight which defines and transforms surface.

Jerome Hunt was born in Warwickshire in 1952 where he grew up and attended local schools. His mother is French and he made numerous visits to France. A love of France grew and with it a passion for the quality of light to be found there. Jerome attended Wimbledon School of Art in 1972 and qualified as a teacher of Art in 1976.

He has taught in schools in and around Peterborough and has been involved in numerous local art exhibitions. He is a contributor to the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists and has won prizes at Peterborough Exhibitions Group.

His most recent works feature images from a visit to America and driving the length of Route 66 from Chicago to Los Angeles. Here he found striking motifs to paint, embedded in the decaying memory of this iconic road. He makes frequent visits to France where he continues to find a rich source of inspiration. Most recently he has integrated screen printing into his studio’s repertoire and is currently experimenting with the medium to complement his painting.
