About The Modern Wild
In the early years of the 21st Century, amidst growing interest in wildlife generated by a greater need for conservation than ever before, popular interest in wildlife art continues to broaden, and with it, a new trend is emerging: a movement away from the literal, illustrative style which typified so much of the 20th Century, towards a more interpretive, contemporary
approach.
Andrew Denman is at the leading edge of this evolution. His unique combination of hyperrealism with stylization and abstraction imbues his work with a strongly contemporary flavor that immediately distinguishes him from his peers. Over the last ten years, he has emerged as one of the most original voices in his field, a position solidified with awards, honors, and aquisitions by private collectors and museums alike.
David J. Wagner, Ph.D., author of American Wildlife Art and curator of such notable traveling museum exhibitions as "The Art of Robert Bateman" and "Kent Ulberg: A Retrospective," now enters the next chapter in his scholarly exegesis of this fascinating genre with "Andrew Denman: The Modern Wild."
Visitors to this exhibition will find themselves captivated and challenged by images that push the boundaries of the wildlife art genre. A poet as well as a painter, Denman uses nature's innumerable inspirations not as a template for illustrative mimicry, but as a springboard for metaphore seldom seen in other wildlife art.
"Andrew Denman: The Modern Wild" is available for display in museums, art galleries, nature centers, and other institutions. To view the exhibition prospectus and learn more, click on the above link or contact:
