Walt Hunter and Jesus Silva combine to call themselves Hunter Hernandez and practice a unique way of artistic expression they call 'Dueling Art'. Hunter is a mentor who uses art to inspire troubled young people to change their lives. He and Mr. Silva, a talented artist and former gang member, perform a style of collaborative art wherein each artist participates in the painting. Hunter and Silva will demonstrate the process they use to create unique works of art August 7, 8 and 9 at Bountiful City Park during Summerfest. The 2008 Emerging Artist of Summerfest is Benjamin Davis. Benjamin has used art as means of expression since he was very young. He has always been interested in drawing, but through some very talented and encouraging high school teachers he started to learn how to paint. Benjamin has shown remarkable ability in any medium including acrylics, watercolor, colored pencil, charcoal and oil. His work will be on display at Bountiful/Davis Art Center and he will also have a booth at Summerfest where he will be demonstrating his art daily. Yaodang Hu is a gifted artist from Shanghai, China. He has exhibited art at Bountiful/Davis Art Center before and he has been featured in the gift shop. He is renowned in China as a painter who follows the traditional form of watercolor and ink painting. He has received many honors in China and a book has been recently published featuring his art. Mr. Hu is unable to be here during the exhibit but his daughter, Zhuma Hu, an accomplished calligrapher will have a booth at Summerfest and will demonstrate her art by writing people's names in Chinese calligraphy.
