Hunt Slonem Original 1988 Oil on Canvas of Three Birds in a Cage
Item Details
A 1988 original oil painting on canvas by very well-listed contemporary American Neo-Expressionist, Hunt Slonem (born 1951). This painting utilizes thick, loose brushwork to depict three exotic birds from inside a mesh cage. A bright orange stripe in the background cuts the composition in half and contrasts with the two largest birds, who are both green. It is signed by the artist and dated ‘88’ to the verso. Also affixed to the verso is a gallery card. The piece is float-mounted in a silver tone wood frame with wire for hanging.
