In his latest technique Slonem combines diamond dust with oil paint, to produce a new shiny surface to his iconic animal paintings. Hunt's career includes over 50 Museum Exibition and his work is part of over 100 American Museum collections, including the Metropolian, Guggenheim and the Smithsonian. Henry Geldzahler, former curator of Contemporary American Painting at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, called Slonem, a painter's painter, recognizing Slonem's enormous ability to please, writing, "Slonem is a painter, a painter's painter with an enormous bag of technical tricks which become apparent to the viewer the longer he stands before the work. So, in Hunt, there is a serious side to painting. By varying the moods and techniques of his work, in fresh and exciting ways, Hunt Slonem creates beautiful work that continually gives joy and surprise." For more information visit www.veredart.com.
