Mixed Media Angel Painting by Hunt Slonem

This is a vibrant mixed media artwork by the renowned contemporary artist Hunt Slonem, featuring a central cherubic angel figure. The piece is characterized by Slonem's signature gestural 'cross-hatching' and thick, impasto application of paint, particularly evident in the blue and pink decorative swirls surrounding the main subject. The angel is depicted in a light blue dress, holding flowers, with golden-bronze wings and blonde curls. A notable feature is the three-dimensional, metallic gold fleur-de-lis embellishment applied to the upper right quadrant of the composition. The background consists of a saturated pink and purple gradient, likely executed in oil or acrylic on board or canvas. The artwork is signed 'Hunt' in the lower right corner in a bold blue script. It is housed in an ornate, gilded rococo-style frame with scrollwork patterns that complement the neoclassical themes of the artist's work. The condition appears excellent with no visible signs of paint loss or fading, though the thick oil paint suggests a contemporary creation date, likely within the last 10-20 years. The craftsmanship reflects Slonem's unique blend of neo-expressionism and pop art themes, using high-quality pigments and a sophisticated layering technique that creates significant texture and depth throughout the piece.
