Bunnies Take Manhattan: One Art Space
Tribeca Presents Hunt Slonem’s Fantastical World
Through the Looking Glass Puts the Celebrated Artist’s Rabbits, Butterflies, Color and Diamond Dust Center Stage
Curated by MaryAnn Giella McCulloh
Hunt Slonem’s unmistakable universe of rabbits, butterflies, birds and brilliant color arrives at One Art Space in Tribeca this summer with “Through the Looking Glass,” an exhibition bringing together works that capture the repetition, movement and fascination with nature that have become signatures of the celebrated American neo-expressionist artist.
Curator and Co-Owner of One Art Space, MaryAnn Giella McCulloh commented on the new exhibition, “There is something almost jewel-like about Hunt Slonem’s artistry – the color, texture, and repetition, from his bunnies to his butterflies and beyond, draw you in. Beneath that beauty lies a deeper visual language, where nature, imagination, color, and mystery become one. Through the Looking Glass is an invitation into his extraordinary world”
The repetition is fundamental to Slonem’s work. Inspired by nature and by the exotic birds with which he surrounds himself, the artist has spent decades returning to rabbits, butterflies and tropical birds, creating an immediately identifiable visual language characterized by textural brushwork, saturated color and repeated forms. Slonem has described his fascination with the patterns found throughout nature, from feathers and leaves to blades of grass as central to that approach.
Artist, Hunt Slonem said of new exhibition Through the Looking Glass, “A dream of what I see through the looking glass, where my creatures go, where we cannot see them, following their wonder — wonderland and inspiration, the source of all my creativity. A joyous venture. ”
“Through the Looking Glass” by Hunt Slonem is curated by MaryAnn GiellaMcCulloh and presented at One Art Space, 23 Warren Street in Tribeca. The exhibition is on view Aug 21, 2026, through Sept 28, 2026.
