Gary Bunt, born in 1957 in East Peckham, United Kingdom, is a self-taught British painter celebrated for his depictions of farmers' scenes and landscapes in the countryside. Before becoming a professional artist, Bunt worked as a farm laborer, a background that deeply influences his artistic themes. 

Bunt's works often showcase the life of a farmer and his dog in the English countryside, a representation of himself in old age. He also accompanies some of his paintings with poetic compositions, reflecting his talent as a poet. His unique fusion of everyday life in a naturalistic manner has made him a prominent figure in contemporary art.
