Gary Bunt Painter and Poet

This short documentary about the life and work of British painter and poet Gary Bunt was filmed, directed and edited by friend and fellow artist Carl Warner.

As a young man Bunt abandoned formal art school training to pursue a career as a rock guitarist. Eventuallly the alcohol and drugs took their toll, prompting him to give up the rock and roll lifestyle  and return to painting. He talks about the influence of serious illness on his art.



He now helps other cancer patients benefit from art therapy by teaching them how painting can become part of their recovery process.

Bunt's paintings will be exhibited at Portland Fine Art, London, in 2015.
