Opening Reception for HUNT SLONEM: Fauna

Laura Rathe Fine Art Presents Debut Solo Exhibition by Internationally Known Artist
Location: Laura Rathe Fine Art

For its Fall season premiere, Dallas Design District gallery, Laura Rathe Fine Art (LRFA), presents an introductory solo exhibition featuring works by world-renowned artist Hunt Slonem with an opening reception on Saturday, September 10th from 5-8pm. “Fauna” will feature works from Slonem’s popular series of rabbits, butterflies, and birds and will be on view through October 8, 2016.

 

Born in Kittery, Maine, in 1951, New York-based artist Hunt Slonem is an American painter, sculptor, and printmaker, well-known for his Neo-Expressionist works featuring butterflies, rabbits, and tropical birds. Considered one of the great colorists of his time, Slonem’s gestural and extraordinarily vibrant portraits of wildlife immortalize and celebrate each species while honoring the exuberance and diversity of life itself.

Slonem studied painting at the Skowhegan School of Painting & Sculpture, Vanderbilt University, and Tulane University. His work has been the focus of over 300 solo exhibitions worldwide and is held in the collections of more than 100 museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.
