"I paint for people," artist Raymond Hunt says of his paintings now on exhibit in Currier House.
Finding other painting media too weak, he uses oils. The African brightness of his colors-oranges, greens, and purples-gives his figures importance, he explains.
Hunt considers his art emotional in tone rather than intellectual. "It doesn't go through my head and come out different through my fingers," he says.
Although he mostly paints black figures Hunt does not consider his art "black art." He does traditional American paintings too, for as he explains, "I live in both worlds. I have to survive in both worlds."
