HUNT SLONEM

With more than 350 exhibitions at prestigious galleries and museums internationally, Hunt Slonem is well-known for his creative artwork depicting repetitive bunnies, exotic birds, butterflies and florals. Scottsdale is fortunate to have a gallery that continually represents his work—Bonner David Galleries.

Slonem’s artistic flair and love for nature and far-off destinations has been evident since childhood, he was born in 1951 in Kittery, Maine, and then spent his formative years traveling due to his father’s role as an officer in the Navy. Earning his degree in painting and art history from Tulane University in New Orleans, Slonem began his art career in Manhattan, exhibiting pieces around New York City’s explosive contemporary arts scene.

Today, his distinct, neo-expressionist style can be found around the world in the permanent collections of museums, including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney, the Miro Foundation and the New Orleans Museum of Art. Drawing inspiration from nature, history and his travels, Slonem continues to create inspiring contemporary works using expressive and highly-textural brushstrokes.
