Hunt Slonem is known for his nature-inspired subjects — from rabbits to tropical birds to exotic butterflies, which he paints in a style that has been identified as Neo-Expressionist. The capsule consists of apparel pieces like scarves and sarongs, bucket hats, as well as a number of plates and napkins.
Each offering bears Hunt Slonem's stroke and the products exude a playful character that is artistically alluring. The aesthetic is a mix of the artist's "passion toward color" and his understanding of the connection between the spiritual and the natural world. Not only will this creative Summer 2019 collection deliver a whimsical element to those who opt-in for it, but the offerings also contribute to Hunt Slonem's status as an artist.
