Hunt Slonem’s first major New York City exhibition in five years closes September 28 in Tribeca
NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / September 25, 2026 / There are only a few days left to see Hunt Slonem’s “Through the Looking Glass” at One Art Space in Tribeca. Closing Monday, September 28, the exhibition marks Slonem’s first major New York City exhibition in five years and brings together paintings and sculpture featuring the rabbits, butterflies and birds that have long been at the heart of his work.
Curated by One Art Space co-owner MaryAnn Giella McCulloh, the exhibition brings together large-scale paintings, smaller works and sculpture layered with color, texture and diamond dust. The works reflect Slonem’s longstanding fascination with nature, repetition and the creatures that have populated his imagination for decades. The exhibition featured a Bunny Salon, curated by McCulloh, with walls of Slonem’s iconic bunnies captivating guests.
“Hunt’s work has such an incredible sense of energy and wonder,” says McCulloh. “What I love about this exhibition is the way the color, texture and repetition draw you in, while each piece reveals something different. It’s a wonderful opportunity to experience his work here in New York.”
One of the exhibition’s standout paintings is Pink Ascension (2021), a 77-by-101-inch oil on canvas filled with butterflies against a vivid pink ground. Nearby, Blue Hutch (2025), a 20-by-24-inch oil on wood, features Slonem’s familiar rabbits against an intense blue background. Together, the works show the range of the exhibition, from immersive scale to the more intimate quality of his smaller paintings.
Other works on view include Red Sea Migration III (2026), Silver Ascension Travel Tomorrow (2022), White Ascension (August Moon) (2026), Blue Rhapsody Diamond Dust (2023), Totem Fluffle (2026) and Pink Pair (2026), along with the sculpture Rafflesia (2023).
Slonem describes the exhibition as a journey into the imagined world inhabited by his creatures:
“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.”
– Hunt Slonem
The exhibition opened September 10 with a lively VIP gathering that brought together guests from New York’s art, fashion and cultural worlds, including MaryAnn Giella McCulloh, Mei Fung, William McCulloh, Patrick McMullan, Susan Gutfreund, Jamie DeRoy, Jean Shafiroff, Carmen D’Alessio and Maribel Lieberman, Keiko Aoki, among others.
