Hunt Slonem: A Decade of Wonder at Madison Gallery in Solana Beach

 by Patricia Frischer



Is Hunt Sonem an expressionist or a pop artist? Do the works deserve their large prices? Do we need to hear stories of his youth and experience of butterflies and bunnies? The answers might not be relevant to you at all, because the sheer joy of the colors and shapes gives such immediate pleasure. At this times of such political turmoil, sometimes you just need this type of escape.

Madison Gallery has often shown Hunt Slonem’s art before, in fact this is the 10th solo exhibition. There is more than a decade of work on display…about 80 pieces filling the entire gallery space. The landscapes inspired by some of the properties owned by Slonem near New Orleans were lovely additions with their gouged lines showing base colors.

The impressive salon hung wall with a large selection of works including  Lincoln and Churchill gives you an idea of how rich and varied these two decades of support by the Solana Beach gallery has been.
