Timothy Hunter

About

Born and raised in South Carolina, Timothy Hunter is a painter whose work exists at the intersection of empirical inquiry and academic tradition. A graduate of the College of Charleston with a B.S. in Chemistry and a B.A. in Studio Art, Hunter is currently a PhD candidate in Organic Chemistry at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta.

His practice is defined by the application of rigorous scientific research techniques to the physical and conceptual act of painting. While his primary focus is rooted in the discipline of academic realism and portraiture, he frequently explores the boundaries of the style through forays into impressionism and abstract forms. By synthesizing the analytical precision of the laboratory with the fluid expression of the studio, Hunter seeks to bridge the gap between scientific observation and the emotive power of the human form.
