A wonderful composition of one of Slonem's most iconic subjects, Bunnies. This piece depicts gestural black bunnies on a multi-colored backdrop with metallic gold and silver details. Slonem traces the bunny with thick black paint, encases the composition with gold and silver brushstrokes while leaving enough negative space to reveal the striking rainbow underpainting - thereby adding another level of sophistication. Inspired by nature and a genuine love for animals, Slonem's paintings encompass unique inspirations drawn from the world. While viewing this piece in person, it is as if we are surrounded by elegance effortlessly, dazzled by the sparkle, and enchanted with the charm of the Rabbit which symbolizes good fortune. This painting invites us to celebrate nature and the simplicity of form from the inspiring world of the Rabbit. The painting is signed and dated on verso.
