Huntopia: Bunnies, Birds & Butterflies
Huntopia showcases a series of monumental pieces and curated installations, combining Slonem’s vibrant artworks with the natural beauty of botanical gardens. The large-scale art sculptures are a joyful, glittering array of show-stopping pieces created with various mediums, including works featuring tens of thousands of hand-cut, hand-applied pieces of glass. The artist’s first exhibition ran at San Antonio Botanical Garden from May-November 2024, with his signature animal muses creating plenty of photo-worthy moments of sculptural play throughout the Garden’s 38 acres.
Stay tuned to see where Huntopia hops off to next.
“Botanical gardens fascinate me. Nature is just embedded in my soul. I’m thrilled to have the blank slate of a garden to mix my art in with. It’s a project that I’ve wanted to do forever. This is the first time I’ve been able to produce work to fulfill the dream.”
