Hunt Slonem

Hunt Slonem embraces nature's ephemeral beauty, bringing a nurturing, spiritual essence to his work. Throughout his career, he has focused on exotic birds, rabbits, and butterflies, often using flat spaces with simple forms and vibrant, textural brushstrokes inspired by German Expressionism. Scholar Henry Geldzahler notes Slonem’s admiration for artists like Malcolm Morley, Francesco Clemente, and Roberto Juarez, whose works convey a spiritual aura. Despite this depth, Slonem’s work retains a lightness of being.
