Hunt Slonem’s "Starry Night" is a mesmerizing display of his signature gestural bunnies, featuring nine expressive black rabbit silhouettes painted over a rich gold and blue background. The textured surface shimmers with depth, as Slonem’s signature cross-hatching and layered brushstrokes create a celestial, dreamlike atmosphere. The contrast between the luminous gold and deep blue evokes a sense of mystery and elegance, while the repetition of the bunnies adds a rhythmic, almost meditative quality. Unframed, the piece retains a raw, contemporary edge, highlighting Slonem’s fusion of spontaneity and sophistication in this striking, whimsical composition.
