Hunter Biden Leaves Venice; Moves Into Art Career

VENICE, CA — Hunter Biden moved out of his Venice canals rental and is now pushing forward in his art career, he tells Artnet.

President Biden's son has been making art since he was a child and although he has no formal training, his work is represented by dealer Georges Bergès. He also has his gallery show debut coming to New York and a private showing in Los Angeles scheduled for this fall.

His abstract work highlights patterns, bold color and he tells the New York Times it's "keeping him sane."

Biden prefers painting on a tabletop, horizontally. He doesn't “fully envision what it will become,” he told Artnet. “At least, it never turns out to be what I started off in my mind’s eye at the outset.”

"I don’t paint from emotion or feeling, which I think are both very ephemeral," Biden said. "For me, painting is much more about kind of trying to bring forth what is, I think, the universal truth."

Hunter Biden is the younger son of President Joe Biden and Neilia Hunter, Joe Biden's late wife.

Hunter Biden is a father of five and a Georgetown University and Yale Law School graduate. He is a co-founder of the investment group Rosemont Seneca Partners. He was under federal investigation and was criticized by Republicans throughout the 2020 campaign.

This spring he shared his struggle with addiction in a memoir titled "Beautiful Things."
