Description
From internationally acclaimed artist Hunt Slonem comes Flowers, the fourth installment in his fine art book series depicting the natural world. Following the success of Bunnies, Birds, and Butterflies, this new collection showcases Slonem’s signature Neo-Expressionist style in a bright bouquet of colors and textures. Readers will recognize some of their favorite botanical varieties, from tulips and irises to waterlilies and sunflowers, each bloom composed of bold, fauvist strokes in a stunningly vivid palette. Utilising watercolor, oil, and acrylic paints, Slonem captures the beauty and uniqueness of Kingdom Plantae, and as such, this luxurious book – an art object in of itself – is yet another powerful testament to Slonem’s imagination and reverence for nature.
Lush, vibrant, meditative, joyful—the flower paintings of celebrated artist Hunt Slonem invite the viewer into a fantastical garden where color and texture bloom in thick impasto. From orchids to water lilies, sunflowers to tulips, Slonem’s flowers transcend the tradition of still life, pressing urgently toward the viewer with the presence of portraiture and the energy of abstraction. Presented here for the first time in a single lavish volume, Blossoms reveals a new dimension of one of the art world’s most beloved figures—and offers a visual feast for anyone drawn to beauty, nature, and the transformative power of paint.
