Hal Shunk’s artwork is a combination of spontaneous action and control. As he creates he allows one action play-off another with the end result often becoming a unique combination of decisive strokes and interesting mis-haps, balanced, to form the colorful, masterfully-blended works he is known for.
Hal graduated the Western Kentucky University in 1980, where he earned his BFA in printmaking before moving-on to New York City where he earned his Master of Fine Art degree from the esteemed Pratt Institute in 1982.
