Hunt Slonem
Born in 1951, Hunt Slonem has become one of the New York Art World's colorful characters. He is best known for his unique paintings of animals, specifically Butterflies, Monkeys, Rabbits, and Birds. Slonem has captured the hearts of the New York elite as well as celebrities from around the world. His work is in the private collections of such individuals as Bill and Hillary Clinton, Salman Rushdie, Brooke Shields, Whoopi Goldberg, Kate Walsh, Sharon Stone, Yoko Ono, Julianne Moore, Tommy Tune, and Mary Tyler Moore. His paintings can also be found in a number of museums including the Guggenheim and Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the National Gallery in Washington, DC. Hunt is a media darling, having been featured in Architectural Digest, Elle Décor, Vanity Fair with Stephanie Seymour, Marie Claire with Jennifer Lopez, and New York Magazine (as recently as the March 6, 2010 issue). He has countless books and catalogs dedicated to his accomplishments. Hunt is represented by Marlborough Gallery in New York, and will be opening April 9th in Chicago at the Thomas Masters Gallery. The exhibition, "A Slice of Slonem," will feature a carefully selected collection of paintings, showing the expansive nature of his long and storied career.

Thomas Masters Gallery
The Thomas Masters Gallery opened in 1993 in the historic Old Town in Chicago. The owner, Thomas Masters, has been in the Art business since 1985. A singer/songwriter and painter, Masters moved to New York City in the mid-1970s. He produced recordings, toured the U.S., and backed up such acts as the Ramones, the Stranglers, the B52's, Iggy Pop, and Robert Fripp. In 1985, he returned to Chicago to pursue art full-time. His intimacy with music and painting makes him a very unique Art dealer. This is reflected in the selection of artists who he represents. The success of the gallery has been enhanced by the partnership with his wife, art historian Agnieszka Masters. The gallery features over thirty artists and presents 10 major exhibitions annually. In addition, as one of Alinea Restaurant’s collaborators, Thomas Masters Gallery provides the art that adorns the walls at Alinea and has hosted events in conjunction with Grant Achatz and Alinea at the Gallery.
