Hunt Slonem (American, b. 1951). Oil on canvas painting titled "Peace Plan 7" depicting a neo-expressionist depiction of birds and butterflies in black and white on a highly textured canvas, 2013. Signed, titled, and dated along the verso. Additionally inscribed "Hunt Slonem Studio AT0356" along the verso.

Provenance: Harmon-Meek Gallery, Naples, Florida; Private Minnesota Collection.

Hunt Slonem is a multi-talented artist best known for his Neo-Expressionist paintings of butterflies, bunnies, and his tropical birds, often based on a personal aviary in which he has been keeping from 30 to over 100 live birds of various species. His designs often feature repetitive motifs based on this extensive collection.

Slonem's artistic journey began in New York City in the late 1970s, following an unexpected opportunity to use artist Janet Fish’s studio and a grant from the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation. His first solo show in 1977 at Harold Reed Gallery marked the start of a distinguished career, including high-profile exhibitions and connections with cultural icons like Andy Warhol and Truman Capote.

His work is characterized by his love for the "exotica," particularly birds and butterflies, influenced by his early experiences in Hawaii and Nicaragua. His paintings are notable for their rich textures, bold colors, and repetitive motifs, reflecting both a fascination with the natural world and a commitment to the artistic process. His famous "Rabbit" series, inspired by the Chinese zodiac in the year he was born, and a large mural at Bryant Park Grill, exemplify his unique style.

In addition to painting, Slonem has explored sculpture, interior design, and has collaborated with international and fashion brands, integrating his art into diverse media. His work continues to be celebrated for its playful and evocative qualities, bridging the gap between the natural and the fantastical.

状态

Due to the richly textured impasto nature of the artwork, it is difficult to discern whether the painting has sustained any damage or not. However, there are no visible losses or signs of restoration when viewed under UV light. The colors are bold and deep and the surface appears stable. Housed within a wooden frame; light wear to the frame including a small scuff and chip to the lower left edge. Not inspected out of frame.

Shipping 

Revere Auctions offers in-house shipping for eligible orders and referrals to third-party shippers for all other orders. Customers with eligible orders will receive an email from ShippingSaint.com within two business days after an auction informing you of eligibility. Please allow 7-10 business days after submitting payment for your order for Revere Auctions to begin packaging your order. Eligible orders will include but are not limited to, unframed artwork, framed artwork, jewelry, coins, and decorative objects.  Ineligible orders include but are not limited to, furniture, oversized lots, and any lot that must be shipped by a third party.  

As a convenience to the Buyer, Revere Auctions will make a referral for packing and shipping to third-party shipping vendors. This is at the request, expense, and risk of the Buyer, and Revere Auctions assumes no responsibility for the items or the timing of delivery. Insurance for in-transit items is the responsibility of the buyer. The buyer must reach out to a third-party shipping vendor to arrange shipping.

“Oversized lots” are objects such as furniture, andirons, floor vases, sculptures, or any other item whose safe packing will exceed the limits of common carriers. The delivery of oversized, large, exceedingly heavy, or high-value objects is not an inexpensive proposition and we urge you to consider this before bidding.

This is to ensure that the won item(s) are given to the proper shipping company and reach their final destination safely.
