Much of Hunt Slonem’s work is inspired by nature, often portraying bunnies, birds and butterflies in his artwork. In this video, he describes his newest challenge and technique—working with diamond dust, mostly in his rabbit paintings. This new experiment is one he has been honing for about two years, and he shares that not only is the process about texture, but also light, both in the painting and in the setting and lighting in which the painting is displayed. You’ll notice the sounds of birds in his studio while he works, yet another one of his inspirations for his work.

After being internationally showcased all over the world and having permanent collections in over 250 museums, Hunt Slonem will be bringing his work to Bonner David Galleries. For the first time in 10 years his work will be in Scottsdale, and we are honored to be representing him. Join us Opening Night on October 18, 2018, from 6-9 pm, to be one of the first to see his new works—and don’t miss the chance to see his work this season from October 18-November 5, 2018.
