Hunt Rettig's artistic odyssey traverses the realms of the mind and materials, crafting 3D assemblages that transcend the ordinary, unveiling an illusionary realm reminiscent of backlit digital illustrations. Yet, these creations are far from simple—they harbor complexity and captivation beyond the visual facade. His discipline is a meticulous journey, transforming everyday materials into expressions of the sublime.
Rettig’s craftsmanship breathes life into moldable synthetics and reflective acrylics, shaping them into encapsulated sculptures that tease kinetic movement, offering a tantalizing dance of stillness and motion. Drawn to the allure of "Op Art" and kinetic art from a young age, his creations echo this fascination, inviting viewers into a realm where perception and reality intertwine.
For Rettig, exploration isn't just geographical; it's a plunge into the depths of the mind and spirit. His natural habitat spans dirt paths and water bodies, observing the patterns that thread through existence, akin to a universal source code connecting us all. In his artworks, biomorphic forms emerge, echoing the sensuality inherent in nature, beckoning viewers to ponder the interconnectedness of existence.
