  Following the success of Bunnies\, Birds\, and Butterflies\, this new c
 ollection showcases Slonem’s signature Neo-Expressionist style in a brig
 ht bouquet of colors and textures. Readers will recognize some of their 
 favorite botanical varieties\, from tulips and irises to waterlilies and
  sunflowers\, each bloom composed of bold\, fauvist strokes in a stunnin
 gly vivid palette. Utilising watercolor\, oil\, and acrylic paints\, Slo
 nem captures the beauty and uniqueness of Kingdom Plantae\, and as such\
 , this luxurious book – an art object in and of itself – is yet another 
 powerful testament to Slonem’s imagination and reverence for nature. Lus
 h\, vibrant\, meditative\, joyful—the flower paintings of celebrated art
 ist Hunt Slonem invite the viewer into a fantastical garden where color 
 and texture bloom in thick impasto. From orchids to water lilies\, sunfl
 owers to tulips\, Slonem’s flowers transcend the tradition of still life
 \, pressing urgently toward the viewer with the presence of portraiture 
 and the energy of abstraction. Presented here for the first time in a si
 ngle lavish volume\, Blossoms reveals a new dimension of one of the art 
 world’s most beloved figures—and offers a visual feast for anyone drawn 
 to beauty\, nature\, and the transformative power of paint. About the Au
