Hunt Slonem’s "Chinensis" is a charming and whimsical composition featuring ten of his iconic black gestural bunnies, painted with expressive, fluid strokes over a softly blended pastel background of blue, yellow, and purple. The delicate color palette contrasts beautifully with the bold, inky silhouettes of the rabbits, creating a sense of movement and spontaneity. The entire piece is uniquely oval-shaped and housed in an ornate vintage frame, adding a timeless elegance. Slonem’s signature impasto technique and repetition bring texture and depth, making "Chinensis" a captivating blend of contemporary expressionism and classical refinement, evoking both playfulness and sophistication.
