MIXED MEDIA NEW YORK, USA Hunt Slonem is primarily a painter focused on naturalistic subject matter with an emphasis on bright color. His reference to the mystical is prevalent as his work pivots between the fantastic and the natural; these natural forms ultimately become the subjects for many of his artworks. Repetition is also a prominent aspect of his work, to Hunt they are a reference to Andy Warhol however the true nature of his repetition is a spiritual practice, a worship. As an artist, he endeavors to explore the many expressive faculties of color, his paintings are rich, layered with thick brushstrokes of vivid color. Since his first solo show at Fischbach Gallery in 1977, his works have joined the permanent collections of museums including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Würth Museum, the Miro Foundation, and the New Orleans Museum of Art. He’s also a darling of the rich and famous. Collectors include Sharon Stone, Gina Gershon, Julianne Moore, Kris and Kylie Jenner, Mandy Moore, Jennifer Lopez, Kate Hudson and Brooke Shields, who said, “I’m a big fan of Hunt’s work. It’s whimsical without being too sweet.” His work skyrocketed when Architectural Digest did a feature story on Kris Kardashian’s home. She has a huge Hunt Slonem bunnies mural on one wall. To continue learning about this remarkable artist, read more on our blog page here.
