CARL BRENDERS Carl Brenders’ love for all creatures, from the friendly to the ferocious, is evident in his masterful attention to their every detail; nothing is overlooked. With his imagination, Brenders is able to get close enough to wild animals so that he can almost feel their textures. Consequently, his work has a tactile reality, giving us the sense of having been where even the most intrepid of field guides have not ventured. Of this ability Brenders says, "A painter is a privileged being, because in his imagination he can come very close to the animals he paints. In reality, one can never come this close to wild animals, particularly if they are predators." Brenders' insistence on anatomical perfection in his paintings stems from his philosophy that nature, itself, is perfection: “That is why I paint the way I do with so much detail and so much realism — I want to capture that perfection," he says. SILENT PASSAGE /950 (Limited Edition Print) Since my childhood I have been impressed by the elegance and suppleness of a cat’s walk. As a boy, when I saw a cat crossing our back yard, my imagination began to work, and instead I saw a tiger in the wilderness. Later, while studying all kinds of books on big cats, it was mainly the cougar that captured my attention, probably because cougars occur in habitats much more familiar to me than the wilderness of Asia and Africa. The books of Jack London made the mystique of the cougar even more fascinating to me. When I first fell in love with the American wild, I could not wait to make my first painting of a big cougar. My purpose in this painting was to portray the wildness and intentness of the big cat on the hunt. I got my inspiration in the Roosevelt national Forest in Colorado, where I was guided by artist, Amy Brackenbury.--Carl Brenders AUTHORIZED GREENWICH WORKSHOP DEALER CONSERVATION DESIGN, INC 14 VALLEY ST.
