Scott Hunt's The Truth Goes Up in Vapors exhibition for Spring/Break presents mysterious hyper realistic drawings that blend fact and fiction to expose an intrinsically Gothic view of America with a queer, dark humor. From the medium, to the image and subject matter, Hunt’s works plays with dreamscapes and nightmares that take us on a ride of what is real and what is fantasy.
