Tom Hunter (b. 1965, Dorset, UK) explores themes depicting his local neighbourhood of East London, drawing on art historical references. He reconstructs stories, memories and myths to paint a psycho-geographical landscape.

Hunter interweaves art history, photographic practice and popular culture to create vibrant artworks, which illuminate East London. His work aims to break stereotypes, provoke thought, raise debate and shed light on the communities in this area of London and the issues they face. Hunter seeks to create a new visual language in fine art practice, which blurs the boundaries between staged photography and documentary. Throughout his career Hunter’s photographic art practice has aimed to question the role of photography in society and to take it into new arenas and to new audiences.
