Hunt Slonem’s "Cordon Blue Finches" is a striking exploration of color, texture, and movement, featuring his gesturally expressive blue finches. Rendered in bold strokes of black and blue paint, the birds seem to dance across the canvas, their forms alive with energy. The luminous silver background provides a striking contrast, enhancing the vibrancy of the birds while adding a reflective, almost ethereal quality. Slonem’s signature mark-making technique captures the delicate yet dynamic nature of these finches, transforming the piece into a mesmerizing interplay of light and motion, where abstraction meets the artist’s deep reverence for nature’s beauty.
