Prior to beginning his career as an artist, Bryan Hunt studied architecture and worked as an engineering assistant at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, an experience which informed his visual vocabulary. He is represented in many prestigious international public collections, including the Museum of Modern Art, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, all in New York; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; and the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. Hunt has been awarded commissions by Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater Conservancy in Bear Run, Pennsylvania and the Parc de Clot, Barcelona Spain.
