Artist statement
I want God, I want poetry,
I want danger, I want freedom,
I want goodness, I want sin.
-Aldous Huxley

I use art as a self-exploratory tool that helps me understand and define the human experience. In my personal art I target complementary themes such as collective and individual identity, power and patriotism, and love and loss to explain my comprehension and attitude toward worldly and personal events. Throughout the past few years I have created an archive of 2-d and 3-d works targeting creative interpretations of the surrounding world and its influences. I include a diverse range of motifs in conjunction with depicting the human form that symbolize my unique take on subjects involving seemingly opposing ideas associated with human existence such as construction/destruction, freedom/oppression, life/death, order/chaos, reality/fiction.

Biography
Joshua Hunt is an emerging artist that regularly participates in exhibitions and gallery showings in the Milwaukee area. Recently, he has been commissioned through the Boy Scouts of America's national honor society, the Order of the Arrow, for an extensive series of drawings to commemorate the organization's 100th anniversary. His work has been featured as patch designs, book covers and showcased in recent editions of the UW-Fox Valley Fox Cry Literary Review.

With a largely conceptual and abstract approach to artmaking; Joshua creates work mainly in the mediums of drawing, painting, and sculpture but has made significant other works in textiles, photography, printmaking, and mixed media. In 2011, Joshua earned his BFA in Art Education from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
