JOHN HUNDT
Assemblage + Collage + Construction: A Collective View of Art from Multiple Santa Cruz County Venues

Biography
John Hundt is a painter and collage artist whose work combines the personal effects of others, i.e., journal entries, personalized recipes, hastily written notes, stained ticket stubs, etc., with his hand-drawn and painted images to create storylines filled with dark humor, absurdity and insight. Current pieces are often composed of found materials from different time periods, cultures and generations, blended into an unexpected order. This process took root when, as a 4-year-old, John began drawing figures, cutting them out, and storing them under his parents' bed. These early creations were the seeds of what has evolved into a language that continues to influence his work today.
