MIXED MEDIANEW YORK, USA Hunt Slonem is a celebrated painter best known for his vibrant, naturalistic works that blend the mystical with the real. His signature subjects—birds, butterflies, and especially bunnies—serve as both personal motifs and spiritual icons. Repetition is central to his practice: while it echoes Andy Warhol’s influence, for Slonem, it functions as a meditative ritual, an act of reverence. His richly layered canvases, filled with bold color and expressive brushwork, explore the emotional and symbolic potential of color and form. Since his debut solo exhibition at Fischbach Gallery in 1977, Slonem’s work has been acquired by major institutions including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Whitney, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, and international collections like the Würth Museum and the Miro Foundation. Slonem is also a favorite among celebrities and collectors alike. Admirers include Sharon Stone, Julianne Moore, Jennifer Lopez, Kate Hudson, and Brooke Shields, who described his work as “whimsical without being too sweet.” His popularity surged after Architectural Digest featured Kris Jenner’s home, which prominently displays a custom mural of Slonem’s iconic bunnies.
