"Near" by Hunt Slonem is a poetic expression of his iconic bunny motif, rendered in elegant lavender tones against a textured lilac ground. Using thick, gestural strokes of oil paint, Slonem captures the rabbit’s form with both immediacy and reverence. The minimalist line work evokes a meditative rhythm, reflecting the artist’s daily practice of repetition as a spiritual exercise. The ornate, distressed silver frame contrasts with the playful subject, elevating the composition into a timeless icon. Slonem’s bunnies are not merely decorative—they’re symbolic, whimsical emblems of innocence, intuition, and grace, quietly pulsing with life and presence.
