“Huntopia: Bunnies, Birds & Butterflies” marks the first-ever garden exhibition by renowned artist Hunt Slonem, on view at the San Antonio Botanical Garden until November 3, 2024. This world-premiere event immerses visitors in a whimsical realm brimming with Slonem’s iconic and colorful depictions of bunnies, birds, and butterflies—subjects that have become synonymous with his artistic career.

Set against the lush backdrop of the Botanical Garden, “Huntopia” features a series of monumental pieces and meticulously curated installations that harmonize Slonem’s vibrant artwork with the natural beauty of the garden surroundings. The exhibition’s large-scale sculptures are a dazzling spectacle, showcasing Slonem’s innovative use of various mediums. Particularly notable are the works composed of tens of thousands of hand-cut, hand-applied pieces of glass, which shimmer and refract the light, adding a touch of enchantment to the garden’s 38 acres.

Slonem’s playful and joyous creations offer numerous photo-worthy moments, inviting visitors to engage with the art in a dynamic and interactive manner. The sculptures, with their glittering array of colors and intricate designs, not only highlight Slonem’s distinctive style but also create a unique dialogue between art and nature.

“Huntopia” is more than just an exhibition; it is an immersive experience that captures the essence of Slonem’s work—his fascination with nature, his love for vibrant color, and his ability to transform ordinary subjects into extraordinary, joyful art. This garden exhibition provides a perfect setting for Slonem’s pieces, allowing visitors to appreciate the artist’s vision in a serene, natural environment. Whether you’re an art enthusiast or a nature lover, “Huntopia” promises a delightful and inspiring journey through Hunt Slonem’s imaginative world.

If you’re unable to make it out to San Antonio to see this exhibition in person, we hope you’ll stop by the gallery to experience even more of Hunt Slonem’s vibrant and whimsical artwork here at Gallery MAR in Park City, UT. The gallery showcases a selection of his iconic pieces, including his beloved depictions of bunnies, birds, and butterflies. Visit Gallery MAR to explore Slonem’s distinctive and colorful creations, perfectly complementing the gallery’s collection of contemporary art.
