Art Exhibition: Curiouser and Curiouser

Since 1977, acclaimed American artist Hunt Slonem has had more than 350 exhibitions at galleries and museums around the globe. His first solo exhibition in Denver—at LoDo’s K Contemporary gallery—features more than 200 of his vibrant, Neo-Expressionist works, ranging from wildlife paintings—you might be familiar with his signature bunnies—to outdoor sculptures. Denver artist Jonathan Saiz, who curated this show alongside gallery owner Doug Kacena, calls the exhibition “a colorfully lush, extroverted counterpoint” to the isolation we’ve all felt during the pandemic. Bring it on. On view through November 6
