Exotic birds and animals fill the giant canvases of Hunt Slonem (b. 1951), an artist whose brilliantly colorful paintings are imbued with a reverence for nature. While Slonem's work embraces a broad range of subjects—from pre-Columbian ceremonial objects and butterflies to saints, go-go dancers, and Rudolph Valentino—it is his bird paintings, based on his personal aviary, that have brought him the greatest acclaim. He—and the dozens of tropical birds who share his vast Chelsea loft and serve as models for his most spectacular artworks—has been the subject of many television and magazine portraits. In the first monograph on this rising star, noted art critic Donald Kuspit is unstinting in his praise, placing Slonem in the company of the great artists of the ages.

The Worlds of Hunt Slonem investigates the life and work of this fascinating American artist. Once the enfant terrible of New York’s art world, Hunt Slonem (b. 1951) depicts both natural subjects—birds and butterflies—and portraits—voodoo saints and Abraham Lincoln–in his jubilant, singular paintings. Using multiplicity as a governing principle, Slonem has created a body of work as inimitable—and wildly colorful—as it is recognizable. This in-depth monograph, which spans Slonem’s boyhood in Hawaii to his training at Tulane University and the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture to his life today, split between New York and New Orleans, features more than 600 vibrant illustrations. Dominique Nahas delves deep beneath the decorative surface of Slonem’s work to reveal what informs and influences this original and enigmatic artist.Praise for The Worlds of Hunt Slonem:"The Worlds of Hunt Slonem [is] an eye-popping survey of more than 600 illustrations by the legendary style setter." -Houston Chronicle

As Bruce Helander writes in the introduction to the book, “The use of a bunny as a subject has a distinct and delightful charm of its own. Slonem takes a cue from a bunny's soft and independent character, usually one at a time in a portrait that convincingly accommodates tall, unruly ears and some long whiskers to boot.

Influenced by the exotic, lush landscapes of his childhood and youth in Hawaii and Nicaragua, Hunt Slonem paints richly colored, impressionistic visions that are celebrated worldwide―and particularly sought-after are his paintings of birds. Now for the first time, Slonem's bird paintings are collected into a single volume, published in a lavish hardcover edition, as a follow-up to the exquisite Bunnies. In Birds, the Louisiana-born artist pays homage to these remarkable creatures through hundreds of engaging works. Dramatic and vivid, Slonem's avian subjects seem unconfined to a flat surface, as the paintings brim with texture and movement. At the same time, the painter's unique “cross-hatching” technique unmistakably evokes the bars of a birdcage. The compelling nature of these paintings lies in the tension between the birds' ability to soar and their often captive state (though Slonem's own birds are often spotted flying around his studio). Sure to please bird-lovers and fine-art aficionados alike, this is an impressively luxe hardcover volume that features metallic ink and silver-gilded edges, a ribbon marker, and an acetate jacket.
