Hunt Slonem’s Totem presents his iconic bunny with the bold, instinctive energy that has made the subject synonymous with his work. Painted in oil on board, a single black gestural rabbit emerges from a luminous surface of metallic gold and silver, punctuated by unexpected passages of pink and green. Slonem’s expressive brushwork and richly layered surface create a wonderful sense of movement, depth, and spontaneity. Rabbits have long been associated with good fortune, abundance, and renewal, bringing an additional symbolic quality to this beloved subject. Framed in an ornate antique-inspired frame, Totem balances contemporary expression with Old World elegance, creating a distinctive original that is both sophisticated and playful.
