American, b. 1951

Inspired by nature and his 60 pet birds, Hunt Slonem is renowned for his distinct neo-expressionist style. He is best known for his series of bunnies, butterflies and tropical birds, as well as his large-scale sculptures and restorations of forgotten historic homes. Slonem’s works can be found in the permanent collections of 250 museums around the world, including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, the Whitney, the Miro Foundation and the New Orleans Museum of Art.

“I have always found our enigmatic and natural world to be deeply inspiring and have made it my life’s work to instill its beauty into my art and creative endeavors. As I study and admire the divinity of animal spirits and muses of varying forms, my long-established painting practice continues to inform this novel undertaking. My strong attitude toward color and reverence for the mysticism of nature can be witnessed in my art.” Hunt Slonem
