This whimsical and sophisticated painting was realized by the esteemed contemporary painter, Hunt Slonem in 2013. This piece features a lovely background in a muted sunflower yellow with bold and deftly rendered brush strokes depicting a rabbit in black paint. The form and personality of the subject is achieved with a remarkable economy of strokes, full of movement, energy, and confidence brought about by unending repetition and exploration within Slonem's practice. The Frame is in a lovely mahogany with inlay detailing branching from each of the four corners with a gilt inner lining denoting the picture plane from the frame of the piece.
Represented by the International blue chip art gallery Marlborough Gallery, Slonem's work is held in museum collections around the world including the Whitney Museum of American Art, The Metropolitan Museum, and the Brooklyn Museum in New York, The Guggenheim Museum and The Fundació Joan Miró in Barcelona, Spain. His work is also featured in the personal collections of numerous celebrities and high profile collectors including Sharon Stone, Gina Gershon, Kate Hudson and many more. The legendary critic Roberta Smith once opined in a New York Times piece that Slonem's "witty Formalism strategy meshes the creatures into the picture plane and sometimes nearly obliterates them as images, but it also suspends and shrouds them in a dim, atmospheric light that is quite beautiful."
This piece represents a particularly strong example of his practice- sure to delight discerning collectors of first rate contemporary art as well as those looking for a stunning painting which promises to complement any interior. With its neo-expressionist style and colorful pallette, this piece would be a winning addition to any interior from classic Mid Century Modern to contemporary. It comes presented in the artist's original antique gallery frame (a key aspect of his practice) with neoclassical detailing throughout. The painting is signed "Hunt Slonem" and dated 2013 verso. Excellent condition.
