Born in 1951 in Maine, Slonem’s career has taken off in the past fifteen years. The neo-expressionist is widely known for his colorful oils of tropical birds, butterflies, dogs, song birds, Rudolph Valentino, and various other animal forms such as ocelots and monkeys.
His new portraits of collectors has been a national sensation as well with write-ups in the Wall Street Journal and Art & Auction.
In the fall Art & Antiques will be doing a feature about the artist, as
well.
Slonem has paintings in more than sixty museum permanent collections and has more than eighty solo exhibitions across the globe. He has had six annual shows at the Harmon-Meek Gallery and will have another November 18 running two weeks. This current show will have the added feature of a book signing as Abrams has just released its new table-top book about
Hunt Slonem, An Art Rich and Strange.
Sculpture is also a part of his media range as his animal forms appear to come to life in 3-D wood forms.
