Hunt Slonem’s "A Flutter" is a mesmerizing celebration of movement and color, featuring two multicolored butterflies rendered in his signature gestural style. Their bold, expressive forms contrast against a richly textured striped background composed of seven individual wooden slats, each uniquely painted and seamlessly integrated into the composition. The horizontal stripes, subtly visible beneath layers of paint, add depth and rhythm, enhancing the sense of fluttering motion. Slonem’s characteristic use of vibrant hues and dynamic brushstrokes transforms the piece into a lively yet meditative study of nature’s ephemeral beauty, evoking a dreamlike quality that is both contemporary and timeless.
