"Chattering Lory" by Hunt Slonem is a radiant composition alive with color, texture, and motion. A flock of vibrantly hued parrots—rendered in layers of crimson, gold, emerald, and cobalt—perch across a fiery orange background, evoking the energetic chatter and flutter of an exotic aviary. Slonem’s signature crosshatch pattern overlays the surface like a delicate net, adding depth and rhythmic movement. The dense composition pulses with life, capturing both the beauty and chaos of nature. "Chattering Lory" exemplifies Slonem’s ongoing dialogue between the decorative and the divine, transforming tropical birds into vivid, symbolic messengers of joy and spiritual vibrancy.
