Provenance:

Private Collection, British Columbia

Exhibited:

"Reach for the Sky: Tradition + Inspiration" 2019, Sunnylands, CA.

Note:

In 1976, Walter and Leonore Annenberg commissioned a 30-foot-tall red cedar totem pole for Sunnylands, their 200-acre California desert estate. Canadian First Nations artist Henry Hunt, a Kwakiutl chief, carved the masterpiece that stands on the fifth fairway of the Sunnylands grounds. In 2010, his son Stan Hunt and grandson Jason Hunt restored the historic pole and rededicated it in 2012. The 'Reach for the Sky: Tradition + Inspiration' exhibition extends the Hunt legacy of Kwakiutl art at Sunnylands by introducing the work of Stan Hunt, and Jason Hunt.

Jason comes from a lineage of great artists, his grandfather Henry Hunt, and his father Stan Hunt.

Following in the footsteps of his father and uncles, Jason has merged his trained Indigenous artistic capabilities with a unique, recognizable style that is sought after by collectors throughout North America and in Europe.
