Hunt Slonem

Hunt Slonem stands as a singular figure in the realm of contemporary art, his neo-expressionist style a vibrant celebration of nature's ephemeral beauty. Born in 1951 in Kittery, Maine, Slonem's artistic journey has been as colorful and diverse as the exotic creatures that populate his canvases. His work is a joyous exploration of form and color, focusing primarily on exotic birds, rabbits, and butterflies. His distinctive style, characterized by flat spaces with simple forms and vibrant, textural brushstrokes, draws inspiration from German Expressionism while retaining a uniquely spiritual incarnation. This depth, noted by scholar Henry Geldzahler, is balanced by a lightness of being that permeates Slonem's entire body of work.

Slonem's impact on the art world is undeniable. His works grace the permanent collections of over 250 museums globally, including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, and the Whitney. His exhibitions span continents, from the Moscow Museum of Modern Art to galleries across the United States, Germany, and Dubai.
