Carl Brenders
The artistic
visions of Carl Brenders reflect his respect for nature. His precise and lively
paintings capture the extreme realism of the birds, mammals, and habitats
he depicts. Brenders paints every detail of his wildlife images--feathers,
hair, leaves, or lichens--until, he says, "they get into my skin." Brenders
has studied at the Fine Arts Academy in Antwerp and later at Berchem. His
artwork is regularly exhibited in the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum's
prestigious "Birds in Art" and "Wildlife in Art" shows. He is widely collected
in North America, France, Germany, Japan, Spain, Holland, Argentina, and
in his native Belgium. Brenders combines his dreams, his senses, his imagination,
and his strict attention to anatomical perfection to create his paintings.
He says, "Nature is already beautiful, already perfect. That is why I paint
the way I do with so much detail and so much realism--I want to capture
that perfection."
