Artworks by Paul Hunter

I am a contemporary landscape painter based in Hertfordshire, England. I paint because I want to capture what it feels like to be somewhere, not simply how it looks.

I've lived in England, Hong Kong and Singapore, and each place has shaped the way I see the landscape. The woodlands and parks of Britain sit alongside memories of tropical rainforest and colourful architecture in Singapore.

Since returning to England, the landscape around Hertfordshire has become an important part of my work. I'm drawn to ordinary places at particular moments: sunlight breaking through trees, winter frost or the intense colours of autumn.
