In “Hutch Polo”, a 36 x 48-inch oil on canvas harnesses the notion that less is more. The dozen plus white rabbits huddle together in a bunny bacchanalia. Gestural outlines define the subjects. Drawn in a very rhythmic course, Hunt seemingly channels the late de Kooning and his abstract expressions. The play of foreground and background is a push and pull compatibility from negative to positive and back again. “Hutch Polo” is a calligraphic flurry of black lines that grace the minimalist aesthetic.
