Bio:

Hunt Slonem is an American contemporary artist known for his vibrant neo-expressionist paintings featuring recurring motifs such as birds, butterflies, and rabbits. Born in 1951, Slonem developed a distinct style rooted in bold color, layered surfaces, and repetitive imagery influenced by his interest in nature, spirituality, and historical ornamentation. Working primarily in oil on canvas and board, he frequently incorporates incised cross-hatching that adds texture and dimensionality to his compositions. Slonem’s work aligns with other postwar American painters exploring color and gestural abstraction, including artists like Sam Gilliam and Larry Rivers.

🚚 Shipping Info – The SebastianCharles Way

Heads up! We like our shipping process just like our auctions — secure, insured, and smooth. Here’s how it all works.

📦 In-House Shipping (We’ve Got You Covered)

We offer in-house, fully insured shipping for the following categories:

  • 💍 Jewelry
  • 🪙 Coins
  • 🍴 Sterling Silver

Each in-house shipment includes full insurance, a signature requirement, and a $10 handling fee added to your final shipping cost.

🏢 All Other Items → Shipped via UPS

For everything else, we partner with a trusted local UPS Store for professional packing and shipping. When your items are ready, UPS will send you an invoice directly for payment and shipment tracking.

🔐 Address Rules (We Take Fraud Seriously)

To protect our buyers and our business:
