Meet The Exotic Hunt Slonem

Slonem’s work can be found in over 250 museums
worldwide and is a favorite of the rich and famous, including
celebrities Kate Hudson, Jennifer Lopez, and Julianne Moore,
to name a few. His endearing subject matter, predominantly
in oil on canvas, has a reverence for nature and brightens any
room, contemporary or traditional. His brilliant colors, thickly
applied paint, spontaneous mark-making, and scratched hatch
marks show his fascination with manipulating paint.
“There’s a spiritual message behind everything I do, and I’m
fascinated by nature and its purity. I’m endlessly mesmerized
by patterns in nature, which is why I use so much repetition
just as in nature there is repetition in blades of grass, the leaves Chinesis by Hunt Slonem
of trees, and feathers of birds.” – Hunt Slonem
