Charlie Hunter
Bellows Falls, VT
Charlie Hunter is a cheerful guy who paints drippy portraits of decaying American infrastructure in Bellows Falls, Vermont.
MessageDuring the 2019 Forgotten Coast Plein Air, I went to Mexico Beach, and, like so many others, was shocked at the devastation. I drove through town, and couldn't bring myself to document the bare cement slabs and torn buildings. Just west of town, back in the scrub, I stopped and sketched the twisted tress, and did these two paintings as an almost visceral, emotional response to what I was seeing.
