Gareth Bunting is an award-winning artist who has exhibited internationally, from Shanghai to Taipei to London. His practice explores the shifting terrain between perception, memory, and imagination—how places and experiences exist not only in the physical world but as reconstructed spaces within the mind.

Bunting’s dreamlike, sprawling, and fantastical landscapes are drawn in his signature style—part cartography, part subconscious mapping. These existential landscape portraits act as visual diaries, revealing fragments of memory and emotion embedded within place. Beginning with the autobiographical, each work evolves into a wider narrative that probes the collective unconscious of humanity and the hyperreal world we now inhabit, echoing Jean Baudrillard’s ideas about simulacra and the blurred boundaries between reality and illusion.

His practice sits at the intersection of art and psychology. Drawing becomes a form of analysis—a way to explore the mechanisms of thought, the fragility of memory, and the distortions of mental illness. His work reflects an ongoing fascination with psychiatry and the landscapes of the mind: how perception can fragment, distort, or overlay meaning in ways that reveal deeper psychological truths.

Using a unique and distorted sense of scale and perspective, Bunting examines the impact of modern humanity on both natural and mental environments in the Anthropocene age. Organic, fractal geometries of nature merge with the mechanical and artificial, questioning our relationship to the natural world and our complicity within it. The settings of his drawings hover between the virtual and the real, the remembered and the imagined—spaces where the external world and the inner psyche converge.
Bunting’s work ultimately asks how we construct meaning, identity, and truth in an era defined by illusion. Through an intricate layering of personal experience, social commentary, and psychological symbolism, he invites the viewer into a world that is at once familiar and unsettling—a reflection of a consciousness caught between the real and its reflection.
