Hunt Slonem’s “Blue Double” features two of his iconic bunnies, painted in fluid, gestural strokes of black against a luminous sky-blue background. With a few confident sweeps of the brush, Slonem captures the essence of his subjects—playful, alert, and full of character. The textured surface reveals his mastery of impasto, where each ridge of paint records the immediacy of the artist’s hand. As with all of Slonem’s original paintings, no two works are ever alike, making “Blue Double” a rare and singular expression of his celebrated style. This piece embodies both the joyful spontaneity and the refined craftsmanship that have secured Slonem’s place in contemporary art history.
