Bøker av Hunt Slonem

Following in the success of internationally acclaimed artist Hunt Slonem, Butterflies is the third book in his art/nature series, following Bunnies and Birds (also published by G Editions). This is an extraordinary presentation in terms of the oversized format, vast amount of artworks included, five-color printing throughout, a ribbon marker, edging on the three exterior sides of the book block, and an acetate jacket that can be removed so that consumers can have a "painting" without text on their coffee table. It is important to note that Butterflies follows two very successful publications that are mainstay collaborations between author and publisher. According to Tank Magazine: "Hunt Slonem is unabashedly in love with his subjects...and it shows."

Influenced by the exotic, lush landscapes of his childhood years in Hawaii, Hunt Slonem's richly colored, impressionistic bird paintings are celebrated worldwide. For the first time, Slonem's birds are collected into a single, luxurious volume. In Bitty Birds, the Louisiana-born artist pays homage to these remarkable creatures through hundreds of engaging artworks. Dramatic and vivid, Slonem's avian subjects seem unconfined to a flat surface, brimming as they are with texture and movement. The compelling nature of these paintings lies in the tension between the birds' ability to soar and their often captive state (though Slonem's own birds are often spotted flying around his studio). The world-renowned artist's vibrantly patterned canvases are a celebration and a paean to birds, sure to entice returning fans and new viewers.
