BUNNIES By Hunt Slonem,
published by Glitterati Incorporated
Foreword by John Berendt, Essay by Bruce Helander

Exciting, unexpected, realistic, impressionistic, abstract—the bunny paintings of celebrated artist Hunt Slonem have something for everyone. Every morning Slonem awakes and performs what he calls his “daily warm-ups.” Within the course of half-an-hour, the artist paints rabbits on a series of small rectangular panels made of wood and Masonite, each work a post-expressionist narrative gesture of the artist in his element. John Berendt describes the process as, “…the artistic equivalent of calisthenics in which he flexes his painting apparatus to establish control over the colors, shapes and textures that flow from his mind’s eye through his arm, hand and brush on the painted surface.”

Slonem’s paintings as a collection appear here for the first time in Bunnies, a treasury of enchanting paintings that are at once pop culture and fine art, in four-color and black-and-white. As Bruce Helander writes in the introduction to the book, “Perhaps it was the rabbits that inhabited his childhood yard in Kittery, Maine that made an indelible impression on the artist and now manifests itself in his illustrious career…. 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. His are a line-up of fuzzy likenesses that are created quickly and forcefully with a clear sense of compassion and precision even though they are purposely abstract.”
