He studied at Skowhegan School of Painting & Sculpture in Skowhegan, Maine; Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN; and received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Tulane University in Louisiana. In 1973 he moved to New York City, and since 2011 has been living and working in a 25,000 square foot studio in the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood. His studio, filled with mid-19th century antiques acquired at antique fairs and flea markets, is a veritable museum. These objects both satisfy his hunger for collecting and serve as a source of inspiration for his own work. Slonem’s work has long been influenced by his travels to such exotic locales as Hawaii, Nicaragua, Mexico and India. He is best known for his Neo-Expressionistic paintings of animals, butterflies, and birds in particular, all of which act as a sort of leitmotif. Canvases are filled with these objects, which are reproduced over and over in an act of repetition that has been prominent in his work for over 30 years now. His paintings are layered with thick brushstrokes of vivid color, often cut into in a cross-hatched pattern that adds texture to the overall surface of the painting. Slonem has had a long, illustrious and varied career. He has been commissioned to paint large-scale murals and has collaborated on product design with major retailers, including a stoneware collection for Tiffany & Co. and a custom–painted A5 sedan for Audi. Since 1977, the artist has had more than 350 exhibitions at prestigious galleries and museums internationally. Globally, more than 100 museums include his work in their collections, among them the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City. Slonem is the subject of a number of monographs, including “Hunt Slonem, An Art Rich & Strange,” which features text by Donald Kuspit, and his work has been featured in countless prestigious publications. Hunt Slonem divides his time between New York City and Louisiana, where he owns two plantation homes on the historic register. Hunt Slonem Summer 2019 Nantucket Hunt Slonem Summer 2021 Nantucket.

  • Manolis Projects Gallery HUNT SLONEM
    HUNT SLONEM - Biography Hunt Slonem was born on July 18, 1951 in Kittery, Maine, and his father’s position as a Navy officer meant the family moved often during Hunt’s formative years, including extended stays in Hawaii, California and Connecticut. He would continue to seek out travel opportunities throughout his young-adult years, studying abroad in Nicaragua and Mexico; these eye-opening experiences imbued him with an appreciation for tropical landscapes that would influence his unique style. After graduating with a degree in painting and art history from Tulane University in New Orleans, Slonem spent several years in the early 1970s living in Manhattan. It wasn’t until Janet Fish offered him her studio for the summer of 1975 that Slonem was able to fully immerse himself in his work. His pieces began getting exhibited around New York, propelling his reputation and thrusting him into the city’s explosive contemporary arts scene. He received several prestigious grants, including from Montreal’s Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Cultural Counsel Foundation’s Artist Project, for which he painted an 80-foot mural of the World Trade Center in the late 1970s. He also received an introduction to the Marlborough Gallery, which would represent him for 18 years. As Slonem honed his aesthetic, his work began appearing in unique, contextual spaces. By 1995 he finished a massive six-by-86-foot mural of birds, which shoots across the walls of the Bryant Park Grill Restaurant in New York City. His charity work has resulted dozens of partnerships, including a wallpaper of his famous bunnies designed specifically with Lee Jofa for the Ronald McDonald House in Long Island.

  • Hunt Slonem FABRIC, WALLPAPER & CARPET ART MEETS DESIGN FRITILLERY
    Art Meets Design DVF at Dining by Design P.36 New at Groundworks Hunt Slonem FABRIC, WALLPAPER & CARPET ART MEETS DESIGN FRITILLERY 2 ART MEETS DESIGN Hunt Slonem is an American painter, sculptor, and printmaker best known for his Neo-Expressionist paintings of tropical birds and exotic butterflies, painted in a style he describes as “exotica.” Slonem has traveled all over the world, but it was a childhood spent in Hawaii and a year studying in Nicaragua that has had the most profound impact on his life’s work, exposing him to new plant and animal species as well as a heightened awareness of cultural norms and spirituality. Though he has not been back to Nicaragua since his visit as a teenager, his memories are as vivid as if he’d just stepped off the airplane. The color combinations and wildlife he encountered there inspire him to this day. Slonem’s New York City loft as well as his art studio function as walk-in aviaries, and house his extensive collection of antique sculptures and Neo Gothic furniture. The environments he creates have become as important as the works themselves, as he is constantly surrounded by the world he seeks to recreate through his paintings. He spends a week every month at his other homes, two historic Louisiana plantations, Albania and Lakeside, as well as a mansion in upstate New York. All of his homes are decorated with period antique furniture, collectibles and sculpture, as well as his own work. Today, the motifs he explored in his early works have been reduced to their essence and have become recurring themes: birds, butterflies, bunnies and portraits.

Keith Marshall, whose family has owned the property since 1964, sold the famous house to New York artist Hunt Slonem on Thursday (March 8). Listed at $2,650,000, the property sold for $1,750,000 after extended negotiations, Marshall said. Slonem, a native of Maine who graduated with a degree in art history and painting from Tulane University, owns two other plantation homes in Louisiana: Albania Plantation House in St. Mary Parish and Lakeside Plantation in a rural area about one hour north of Baton Rouge. Madewood is considered one of the finest examples of Greek Revival plantation architecture in the country. Renowned architect Henry Howard designed the house for Colonel Thomas Pugh. It was completed in 1846. More than a century later, Keith Marshall's mother, Naomi Marshall, bought the property in 1964 for $75,000 and oversaw a total restoration, working with the late preservation architect F.

  • Hunt Slonem Upcoming Solo Exhibitions
    HUNT SLONEM Hunt Slonem was born in Kittery, Maine in 1951; the eldest of four children. After complet- ing school, which included living in Nicaragua as an exchange student at the age of 16, Slonem began his undergraduate studies at Vanderbilt University. He then spent six months of his sophomore year at the University of the Americas in San Andres Colula, Puebla, Mexico, eventually graduating with a Bachelors of Art in Painting and Art History from Tulane University in New Orleans. During his collegiate years, Slonem attended the prestigious Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Maine, where he was exposed to influential artists from the New York area including Alex Katz, Alice Neel, Richard Estes, Jack Levine, Louise Nevelson and Al Held. This exposure played a pivotal role in Slonem’s artistic career, as it aided in his deci- sion to move to New York in 1973. Three years after his arrival, Slonem received a painting grant from the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation in Montreal, Canada and began painting extensively. However, it was his time spent in Nicaragua that Slonem credits with most in- fluencing and inspiring his work. The country’s tropical landscape has informed not only Slonem’s process, but also his need to be surrounded by the nature he paints; to this day he often works with a bird or two perched on his shoulder. Exotic birds also greatly inspire the artist’s work; he has a personal aviary, in which he keeps anywhere from 30 to 100 birds of various species at his Brooklyn-based studio.

  • Interview by Ilka Scobie
    This interview was originally published as "Urban Visionary" in Arnet Magazine, June 2001. reproduced with kind permission Martha Diamond, a native New Yorker, received a 2001 art award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. At the ceremony last month, Chuck Close presented her with the award and the citation, which read, "Martha Diamond's paintings are based on vision, nuance, gesture, light, reflection and atmosphere. The work is elegant, hip, compelling and thoroughly modern. This is serious painting, uncompromised, deep and infinitely rewarding." Diamond has been a vital member of the New York art world since graduating from NYU with an MFA. She has lived and worked in the same downtown loft for many years, long before fancy shoe boutiques replaced the local Hell's Angels chapter. In her sun-filled loft, flea market finds like 1950s lamps coexist elegantly with Italian leather sofas. Diamond's art collection includes works by Lois Dodd, Alex Katz, Hunt Slonem, Merlin James, Stephen Westfall and other contemporary artists with whom she has traded work. Her pristine studio boasts no distractions, save whitewashed wooden furniture, neat racks of paintings and Diamond's current work. Diamond, who is widely known for her gestural urban imagery, has long been regarded as a brilliant oil painter. She works from small, jewel-like studies that she then translates to larger canvases. Her methodology takes on the immediacy of performance art. We spoke in her living room on a recent rainy afternoon. Ilka Scobie: What were your first encounters with the art scene? Martha Diamond: It was much smaller.
