Hunt Slonem Tatianna II For Sale

About this work

Hunt Slonem stands as one of the most distinctive and commercially successful Neo-Expressionist painters working today. His work is held in over 250 museum collections worldwide, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Guggenheim, positioning him firmly among the most collected living American artists. Slonem's market presence continues to demonstrate remarkable consistency, with strong auction performance and sustained primary market demand across four decades of practice. Tatianna II exemplifies Slonem's celebrated exploration of Bunny subjects, rendered in his signature gestural style. The composition presents a single bunny against a richly textured ground, executed with the rapid, confident brushwork that has become synonymous with the artist's technique. Slonem works in a near-meditative state, often completing multiple canvases in a single session, allowing each portrait to emerge through instinctive mark-making rather than calculated rendering. The layered surface reveals traces of underlying pigment and the physicality of the artist's process, while the subject gazes outward with an almost totemic presence. This tension between spontaneity and reverence reflects Slonem's deep spiritual practice and his understanding of repetition as a form of devotion. At ten by eight inches, this intimate oil on wood panel offers an accessible entry point into the artist's highly sought-after body of work. The scale invites close looking and rewards sustained attention to the nuances of surface and gesture that define Slonem's practice.
