M aximalist artist Hunt Slonem's riotous canvases of flora, fauna (especially avians, butterflies, and bunnies) are collected by venerable museums including the Metropolitan, Guggenheim, and Whitney. Now the painter has a new jam. No stranger to collaboration and cross-pollination into other realms and media (such as the world of design, via fabric, wallpaper, and carpet collections), Slonem used the lockdown to develop a new body of work from his New York studio. Then, he headed to Seattle to enter the high kingdom of craft, working with heritage artisan fabricator Glass Eye Studio, founded 1978, on … blown-glass bunnies. Available in limited editions, these charming life-size lapins come in confectionary colors that the artist likens to the palette of jelly beans. Collect singly, or acquire a herd for your hutch. Edition works $5,500, unique sculptures $8,500, through Laura Rathe Fine Art, laurarathe.com. Catherine D.
