Hunt Slonem’s new exhibition at West Chelsea Contemporary through May 26 PHOTO COURTESY OF WEST CHELSEA CONTEMPORARY

West Chelsea Contemporary presents The World of Hunt Slonem, an extraordinary new exhibition on display through May 26th. An internationally exhibited artist, Hunt Slonem is an artist whom collectors adore and art connoisseurs crave—you may recognize his works from The Met or The Whitney. With a much-discussed fruitful art career, he has a signature look of thick paint applications and endearing creatures that make his art easy to get lost in. No secret part of his inspiration comes from his 60 pet birds, and he is best known for his art series of bunnies, butterflies and said tropical birds.

Slonem is beloved by the rich and famous, and we understand why: his art looks amazing anywhere. It can be displayed in a modern emporium or a cozy cottage and fit right in either way. Featuring bold and bright color tones and cuddly creatures of beauty, a certain warmth and nostalgia comes over you while looking at his pieces. His painted butterflies and birds practically fly off the page. This exhibit will surely set your mind to spring. You don’t want to miss the chance to see Slonem’s pieces in person, as who knows what country his works head to next. wcc.art; huntslonem.com
