Hunt Slonem
Hunt Slonem has mastered the art of repetition in his exuberant Neo-Expressionist paintings. Some of his favorite subjects are bunnies, butterflies and the tropical birds that live in the private aviary nestled within his 30,000-square-foot studio complex in Brooklyn, New York.
“I believe in repetition like a holy mantra or rosary,” Slonem told Introspective, referring to his artistic method. “I am slightly influenced by Pop art, like the repetition of soup cans, postage stamps and celebrities. It’s something I have been doing my whole life.”
Slonem’s depictions of birds — which are often rendered in thick, gestural brushstrokes and arranged in a loose grid — owe to a fascination with tropical avian life that he developed during a childhood spent in Hawaii and Nicaragua. Today, along with the aviary, his studio contains a personal garden, a collection of antiques and walls and walls of artworks.
“I am a collector of things. My primary focus is color and objects. I love to make them work in a space,” Slonem says. “Sometimes I define a space with color.”
Besides birds, Slonem has painted so many bunnies that they’ve become a signature. Limned in expressive, urgent strokes on flat, vibrantly colored backgrounds, these creatures fascinate through their subtle variations. “I have painted hundreds of rabbits, but each one is different,” the artist has explained. “Each has its own personality, and it just comes through me.”
The multitalented Slonem also sculpts, makes prints, creates installations and restores historic spaces. His work has achieved cult status among collectors and is represented in the permanent collections of such esteemed institutions as the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Slonem has even made an appearance on Real Housewives of New York.

- White SwanBy Rainer LagemannLocated in Miami, FLBorn in Düsseldorf in 1959, Rainer Lagemann concentrates on the human body in a modern interpretation of classical sculpture. Lagemann is fascinated by the long-held tradition of artistic expression and struggle depicted through the natural form explored in all shapes, materials, and mediums since the beginning of art history. His sculptures capture the human body in motion--a freeze-frame of classic, timeless gestures and emotions, both ethereal and concrete. The forms he creates possess the grace of a Nureyev or Baryshnikov in mid-flight. Lagemann uses hollow metal squares to sculpt the human figure, creating works that elicit both the strength and delicacy of the body. Each square represents the trials and tribulations of life, the four corners symbolizing the intellectual, emotional, physical, and spiritual dimensions of human beings that form the framework of the spirit and the image of the body. The hollow squares strip away distractions, leaving a powerful vision and exploration of the human body, adding an element of tangible levity and formless abstraction. With all of Rainer's sculptures, there is a secondary layer of beauty and mystery - the exquisite shadows of form, body, and spirit cast themselves upon the walls creating a second sculpture of light...Category
