"Hutch 18" by Hunt Slonem is a lively chorus of expressive rabbit portraits, painted in sweeping black brushstrokes against a crisp white ground. Arranged in an almost rhythmic formation, the eighteen bunnies each carry a distinct personality, unified through Slonem’s signature gestural line work. The repetition of form becomes meditative, echoing the artist’s daily ritual of painting rabbits as a spiritual and creative practice. The monochrome palette allows the viewer to focus on texture, movement, and emotion. Framed in an ornate gilded frame, "Hutch 18" is both whimsical and contemplative—a joyful exploration of repetition, individuality, and visual harmony.
