Installation of Hunt Slonem's iconic small Bunnies at Space SBH Gallery
This winter, Space SBH Gallery presents leading international artist Hunt Slonem with an exhibition of his world of everything Exotica. Widely recognized as one of the major artists on the contemporary art scene, this beautiful exhibition combines a selection of his bunnies which are among some of the most covetable motifs in contemporary art alongside his tropical birds and colourful butterflies.
Slonem is exhilarated by nature and fascinated with Exotica. As the son of a Navy officer, Slonem spent his childhood on military bases: growing orchids in Hawaii, collecting stamps in Louisiana, and chasing butterflies in Nicaragua—the place that inspired him most. The tropical landscape made a lasting impression and he often works with a bird or two perched on his shoulder.
Throughout his extensive career, which includes over 300 solo exhibitions in galleries and museums internationally including the Guggenheim, the Metropolitan Museum of Art (MoMA), the Whitney and the Moreau Foundation. Never one to sit still, Slonem has also just launched a fashion line collaboration with New York designer Jason Wu and Space gallery is exclusively carrying the limited edition Bunny sweater to accompany the show!
Be sure to catch the
opening on Friday 30th
December with a champagne reception at the
gallery from 6-8pm.
