### What Makes His Work Special?


Bunce creates paintings that are like visual stories—each one packed with characters, humor, and moments that feel both familiar and surprising. Think of his canvases as stages where little dramas unfold, complete with vibrant colors and figures that seem to move and breathe.

His recent solo show at Bradley Beauty in Brentwood this past May gave viewers a perfect introduction to what he calls "joyful narratives" – paintings with personality that invite you to look closer and discover new details each time.


### Current Projects

Right now, Bunce is working on four circular paintings featuring Greek busts. He's bringing these ancient subjects to life with his signature blend of physical comedy and bold, eye-catching colors. 



### The Artist Behind the Work


Bunce's path to art is unique. He grew up in the mountains of Idaho and was a competitive snowboarder before becoming an artist. That background in movement and physical space shows up in how his painted figures move and interact. He also studied Literature at Stanford, which explains why his paintings feel so much like visual stories. His influences range from Monty Python to Charlie Chaplin to Sacha Baron Cohen, and he integrates comedic sparks throughout his work. 



### Why We're Excited About Wyatt

In a world where contemporary art can sometimes feel intimidating or overly intellectual, Bunce creates work that welcomes you in. His paintings are smart without being pretentious, funny without being silly, and beautiful without being shallow.
This combination of accessibility and depth is exactly what we think contemporary art needs more of. **Bunce proves that you can create work that's both intellectually engaging and genuinely enjoyable to look at.**
