Hunter Foster was born in Little Rock, Arkansas and received a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (2015). Foster’s works blur the boundary between painting and sculpture, incorporating a variety of materials, such as textiles and metal. He constructs his paintings by winding 2” strips of dyed canvas around a wooden core, creating a densely packed field upon which he applies pigment. His practice is deeply informed by post-War American painting, and interrogates topics of faith, art history, spatial politics, and labor. He has exhibited work at Good Weather (Chicago), The Anderson (VCU, Richmond), Lock Up Intl. (London), Gern en Regalia (New York), among others.
