"Cardinals" by Hunt Slonem is a vibrant and rhythmic celebration of color, repetition, and spiritual symbolism. Dozens of crimson birds perch in orderly rows across the canvas, their forms rendered in thick, expressive brushstrokes over a textured white ground. Slonem’s signature crosshatch overlay adds a dynamic visual layer, evoking movement and a sense of sacred patterning. The cardinal, a symbol of vitality and renewal, is transformed here into a meditation on presence and energy. "Cardinals" captures the artist’s fascination with nature as muse, offering a harmonious blend of color, texture, and contemplative structure within a rich, gilded frame.
