The inaugural collection will feature the artist’s iconic bunnies series and will be available for purchase on Notable.art starting April 2024.

New York, NY— Notable.art, the new fine-art-centric platform bridging digital and physical art, is pleased to announce details of famed artist Hunt Slonem’s first-ever generative art project, The Hunt Slonem Experience, an ongoing series of limited-release digital drops features variations on Slonem’s most iconic motifs. The project is created in collaboration with Slonem’s studio, Notable’s team of art experts, and Web3 designers, who developed an algorithm reflective of Slonem’s deep relationship with materiality and creative meditation. The inaugural collection will launch on April 2024 and be available for purchase at Notable.art.

For the first offering in his new series, Slonem takes his distinctive, decades-long practice of painting bunnies in bold colors and expressive brushwork into the digital. Created from a hand-picked selection of Slonem’s favorite bunny paintings, this first-of-its-kind collection features over 900 unique, digital works based on visual elements from the artist’s oeuvre. Each offering is also complemented by a physical museum-quality reproduction of the unique digital work, connecting collectors with the physicality of Slonem’s artistry.

Entitled The Hunt Slonem Experience: Digital Bunny Retrospective, this introductory collection is an extension of Hunt’s long-standing routine of creating daily ritual paintings, most often of bunnies, as gestural warm-ups and to experiment with color play. Slonem’s bunny paintings have grown in numbers exponentially throughout his career, and are perhaps the subject matter for which the artist is best known. The Hunt Slonem Experience: Digital Bunny Retrospective honors the profound quotidian element of his practice with each offering positioned as its own “snapshot in time” featuring unique titles, colors, and variations based on the day and time.

All artworks are individually numbered, titled, and digitally signed by the artist to ensure authenticity and are available for $1,500 each. Utilizing the blockchain ledger, buyers and sellers are able to trace the provenance of the 1:1 digital and physical works. Collectors also become instantly eligible for additive offerings— special one-off digital works for existing owners that spontaneously drop into their digital wallets at no additional cost.

Born in 1951 under the sign of the rabbit in the Chinese zodiac, Slonem feels a strong connection to the subject. His bunny paintings have been a significant source of inspiration both in settling on a specific theme and being able to experiment with an abundance of media such as diamond dust and metallic paint as well as mediums ranging from sculpture to printmaking. This is the artist’s first time working in digital media and marks a historic moment in his career. With the Year of the Rabbit coming to an end, The Hunt Slonem Experience: Digital Bunny Retrospective is an apt time for the artist to extend his iconic imagery into the digital realm, which Slonem views as an inspiring new reality.

“I’m looking forward to bringing the energy from my physical works into the digital realm,” said Slonem. “Hopefully this journey will bring joy and upliftment to new audiences. I’m always happy to branch into new territories.”
