Both an internationally shown artist and also experienced geneticist, Hunter Cole, formerly Hunter O'Reilly, reinterprets science as art through abstractions, digital art and installations. She holds a Ph.D. and Master's degree in Genetics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and a Bachelor of Science from the University of California-Berkeley. She teaches biology and art at Loyola University Chicago. She created a course, Biology Through Art, where students have the opportunity to create innovative artworks in a biology laboratory. In the Living Drawings Exhibition Hunter Cole creates controlled line drawings using bioluminescent bacteria. The bacteria then grow in the host environment. Bacteria become collaborators in the art as it grows and dies. Hunter Cole created Radioactive Biohazard, an exhibit reinterpreting science as art looking at biotechnology from a positive perspective. In this exhibit Cole confronts issues related to human cloning, stem cell research and the human genome project, among others. With biotechnology becoming a greater part of our daily lives, there seems to be a movement in the art world to integrate art and science. Cole is often listed with other artists who create what is often referred to as bioart. Cole discusses the unusual results of the integration of art and science in contemporary art in seminars she has given at the University of Michigan, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design (MIAD) and the University of Wisconsin-Parkside. |

"EBOLA is beautiful!" Flag by Hunter Cole Fri., Dec. 4 - Thurs., Dec. 10, 2009 Temporary Allegiance Project The "EBOLA is beautiful!" flag will wave on a flag pole on the University of Illinois Chicago campus at 400 S. Peoria St. in front of the College of Architecture and the Arts building in association with the Temporary Allegiance Project and Gallery 400. This flag is an extension of "The Art of Death: Viruses Are Beautiful!" which confronts you with the paradox of something being visually stunning yet intellectually horrifying. Few people experience the beauty of viruses except scientists. This art brings the beauty of viruses to the world. |
| Art Gallery Observations in the laboratory and the world around her inspire the shapes in her abstract oil paintings. Hunter's abstract art hints at both organic matter at the highest level (human faces) and at the smallest level (single cells). This section includes many images of artwork. |
| Biography Hunter Cole obtained a Ph.D. in genetics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and graduated cum laude from the University of California, Berkeley. Her abstractions have been shown internationally including galleries in New York, San Francisco, England, Italy, Japan, the Czech Republic, Indiana and Wisconsin. |
| Biology Through Art Course Cole teaches biology and art at Loyola University Chicago. She created a course, Biology Through Art, where students have the opportunity to create innovative artworks in a biology laboratory. Students view microorganisms, use DNA as an artistic medium, create music based on DNA sequence and see anatomy as art. The course culminates in students creating their own biological self-portrait. |
