Birds cover

A follow-up to Hunt's gorgeous, best-selling book Bunnies, ISBN 9780989170451 featuring the same deluxe production values Hunt Slonem's exhibition schedule for 2017 includes more than 19 solo shows in Aspen, Montreal, Dubai and other locations worldwide. Influenced by the exotic, lush landscapes of his childhood and youth in Hawaii and Nicaragua, Hunt Slonem paints richly coloured, impressionistic visions that are celebrated worldwide. 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 his earlier luxe book, Bunnies. In Birds, the Louisiana-born artist pays homage to these remarkable creatures through hundreds of engaging artworks. Dramatic and vivid, Slonem's avian subjects seem unconfined to a flat surface, as the paintings brim with texture and movement. Sure to please bird-lovers and fine art aficionados alike, this is a sumptuous hardcover volume that features metallic ink and silvergilded edges, a ribbon marker and an acetate jacket.

"(Birds) are also the subject of a new monograph, titled Birds, that gathers together over 180 of Slonem's paintings of feathered beings in one sumptuous tomeand they adorn almost every surface of the artist's cavernous, 35,000-square-foot Brooklyn studio." -- Alexxa Gotthardt Artsy "The avian "models" are often muses for Slonem who has released a new book of his work called BIRDS, which is filled with, you guessed it, stunning reproductions of his delightful winged paintings. " -- Kelli Bender People "I find inspiration everywhere, but nothing sparks more ideas than travel. New concepts for my work emerge every time I go away. These new experiences influence my perspective on everything from color and technique to subject matter and scale." - Hunt Slonem -- David Foxley Architectural Digest http://www.fox5ny.com/good-day/239162444-video Good Day Fox, March 2, 2017 http://nym.ag/2mwwyoy New York Magazine, February 20, 2017 "Working out of his massive 35,000 square-foot Brooklyn studio... Slonem pays homage to winged creatures of all shades, shapes and sizes. 'I've created an indoor jungle of sorts," he says of his atelier-turned-aviary."http://bit.ly/2mXqp2a -- Zachary Wilson Manhattan Magazine, March 2017 "Dramatic and vivid, Slonem's avian subjects seem unconfined to a flat surface, brimming as they are with texture and movement. 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)."http://bit.ly/2mwyiOB -- Emily Lewis Mrs. Mommy Booknerd Book Reviews, March 4, 2017
