Cole gunter

Cole is a Texas-based oil painter whose work explores themes of memory, place, and the quietly iconic moments of American life. His paintings evoke a sense of nostalgia—weathered signage, vintage cars, sun-faded chairs—each subject rendered with a reverence for the past and a sharp eye for composition.

Rooted in the visual language of mid-century Americana, Cole’s work captures the tension between what remains and what’s been lost. Drawing on his background in design and a deep appreciation for storytelling, his paintings combine emotional depth with a strong, deliberate aesthetic. Whether it's the glow of a neon sign or the rusted curve of a fender, every detail in his work serves to anchor a mood and spark a memory.

Currently living and working in North Texas, Cole is building a body of work that speaks to anyone with an eye for honest, evocative art. His goal is not just to paint scenes from the past, but to create pieces that can resonate with anyone. Through his art, Cole Gunter offers a quiet, compelling look at a fading era—one brushstroke at a time.
