January 9 - February 17, 2025
From Laura Rathe Fine Art:
“Laura Rathe Fine Art presents Wild Kingdom, a solo exhibition by Hunt Slonem, across
both gallery locations. The first opening is in Houston at the River Oaks District on January 9th, followed by Dallas in the Dallas Design District on January 11th. Signed books will be available for purchase.
Hunt Slonem has captivated collectors, galleries, and art enthusiasts worldwide, creating a whimsical realm of his own through his series of birds, butterflies, and bunnies. Wild Kingdom features, for the first time in public, several never-before-seen works from Hunt’s personal collection. This diverse collection highlights Hunt’s mix of patterns and mediums inviting viewers into his colorful, creative world. His neo-expressionist style is inspired by an interest in Victorian aesthetics, exotic animals, and transcendent symbols, such as the rabbit, a sign of good fortune. Hunt’s work bridges a gap between art and design, balancing deeper spiritual themes with his playful visual appeal.
Slonem’s prolific studio practice attributes to Slonem’s reputation. His works belong to the collections of countless museums and galleries around the world, such as the Guggenheim, the Metropolitan, Museum of Art, the Miro Foundation, and the Whitney.”
