Hunt Slonem tends to embrace the ephemeral beauty of
nature, a characteristic that brings a nurturing, spiritual
effect to his creations. Throughout his extensive career
as a New York artist, Slonem has favored the subject of
exotic birds, rabbits, and butterflies. Lately, his compo-
sitions have consisted of flat spaces with simple forms
pushed to the front of the picture plane. The artist
creates exotic forms with expressive and highly textural
brushstrokes that are full of intense color, loosely inspired by artists of the German
Expressionism movement such as Ernst Ludwig and Emil Nolde.
