His contemporary art collection included the following –

This Perfect Day Collection

Todd Hunter is a modern artist and is considered as an alchemist of form. The modern painting in this collection depicted the true colors and shapes of the natural world by using primarily oil on canvas. This collection included the beautiful art “Some Summers.” He denies his audience the literal meaning of the trees, sky, rock and shrub in this collection yet they are clearly there beyond what you call imagination. He demonstrates through his modern paintings the meaning of landscape yet he leaves off the trivialities of the literal.

Love Buzz Collection

“Love Sick” is his oil on canvas work, which is part of the Love Buzz Collection. He clearly evokes strong impression and his particular brand of abstraction seeps through this amazing art collection. The paintings involved in this collection make you reconciliatory connection between physical and abstraction. It is clearly ‘love buzz’ with all the struggles and the perfect sense of eroticism.
