Hunt Slonem’s "Foliage" (2024) features a black, gestural bunny set against a vibrant green background, with a striking silver brushstroke running across the composition. The black bunny, painted in loose, expressive strokes, conveys a sense of spontaneity and movement, typical of Slonem’s signature style. Its abstract, yet recognizable form stands out sharply against the vivid green backdrop, which evokes the lushness of nature and the vibrancy of life.
The textured, almost sculptural quality of the bunny contrasts with the flatness of the background, creating depth and visual intrigue. The bold silver flair introduces an unexpected element, adding tension and contrast, while also reflecting light, giving the piece a dynamic and ever-changing quality depending on the viewer's perspective.
With its striking interplay of color, texture, and form, "Foliage" captures Slonem’s ongoing exploration of nature, energy, and the beauty of spontaneous expression.
