Andrew Denman is pleased to announce his newest representative in the UK, London-based Gladwell & Patterson's Rutland location, Gladwells Rutland, in the East Midlands bordering Leicestershire.  Visitors will encounter an eclectic mix of artwork, from landscape to figurative, still life to wildlife, all joined together by a common thread, quality. Though Denman has been showing with Gladwells Rutland for over a year, the Gallerie's 2023 Christmas Show will be his first major event showcasing a new body of work. This collection focuses on small, affordable, mixed media studies of UK birds, the perfect gift for the art-lover in your life or just to spoil yourself this holiday season.

Now is the perfect time to visit Gallery by the Lakes to see the Winter Art Collection. Artist and founder Simon Gudgeon has carefully curated this beautiful collection of work by the galleries' stable of top notch artistic talent, skill, and originality. If you are looking to give the gift of fine art this Holiday, Gallery by the Lakes is your one-stop-shop in South England.

Gallery by the Lakes can be found on the grounds of Simon Gudgeon's Sculpture by the Lakes, a gorgeous 26 acre sculpture and garden park in Dorchester, England, complete with its own lakes, an award-winning farm-to-fork cafe, and a gift shop featuring work by local artisans.  The Gallery, Aritsan Garden SHop, and award-winning Cafe can be accessed without park admission, but if you have the time for a picnic and a stroll, Sculpture by the Lakes is well worth your time. Plan your visit today.  

If you love art and value wildlife conservation, this is a unique opportunity to own a piece of original art while making a real contribution to protecting primates in the wild.

In 2018 and 2019 I was actively involved in Soysambu Conservancy’s Colobus Project. I helped raise money to translocate Guereza Colobus monkeys to the conservancy from nearby Kipipiri, where they were under extreme pressure due to major habitat loss and conflict with local farmers. It was an enormously successful project, and the colobus have now integrated into Soysambu’s ideal riverine forest habitat and begun to breed. This is one of the first successful translocations of its kind and serves to be a model for other similar projects in East Africa. Right now, Soysambu urgently needs to hire a full-time researcher to continue the post-translocation monitoring. Gathering scientific data is key to reproducing these results in other areas where primates are in danger from human wildlife conflict.

If you can donate $2,000 to Soysambu Conservancy, earmarked for the colobus project, you will receive this painting as my gift to you for being a conservation warrior. The painting, entitled “Her Shadow” is one of a very few primate paintings I have ever done. It was based on an encounter with a captive chimpanzee at the Oakland Zoo, and shares a poignant moment I experienced with humankind’s closest living genetic relative. “Her Shadow” was exhibited and sold in my last Solo Exhibition at Pacific Wildlife Galleries in 2008. The collector and friend who owned this piece has recently downsized her home and needed to find new homes for much of her collection. In an act of very touching generosity, she offered to gift this painting back to me. It is a piece that has always been very meaningful to me, but I would much rather it grace the walls of someone else’s home than mine, and I have made the decision to use it as a fundraising tool for a project I believe in. The moment I experienced with this beautiful animal helped foster my respect for primates, something I felt again in Kenya when I first saw Colobus in the wild. It seems only fitting to pay that inspiration forward and help Soysambu’s colobus project to have an even bigger impact in the broader tapestry of primate conservation.

If you are interested in taking me up on this offer, please contact me directly. There is only one painting, so this offer will go to the first person who commits to making the $2,000 donation. I am happy to discuss details. And of course, if you want to help out Soysambu Conservancy, you can make a donation in any amount by following this link:

On September 16th, Andrew will be participating for a third time in the Jackson Hole Wyoming Chamber of Commerce Fall Arts Festival QuickDraw.

You can bid in person or online, but you must purchase a bidder package in advance. For information on how to participate or bid, please follow this link: Denman, QuickDraw

This gala event is the National Museum of Wildlife Art's biggest fundraiser of the year and a terrific opportunity for collectors to choose form a wide selection of pieces by some of wildlife and western art's most sought after painters and sculptors. It's also a great way to support your favorite museum, one that has made and continues to make a substantial contribution to the lives of living artists working in the wildlife art field. In a return to the show's original roots as a "miniatures" show, the vast majority of the 2023 offerings will be small works under 320 square inches.

Andrew is pleased to participate in this prestigious exhibition for his seventeenth consecutive year. This year's offering is a small-scale study of "The Boy's Club," a modernist, pop-art infused interpretation of a flock of cardinals currently on the easel. To attend the event in person or purchase artwork online, you will need to register. Click HEREfor more information. All of the miniatures (most of the show, including Denman's piece) will be available at fixed prices in a "bid intent to purchase" system. There will also be a collection of larger paintings available in a more traditional live auction format.

This Summer, Astoria Fine Art challenged its stable of artists to produce their biggest and best work yet for the new Summer Masterworks Series. A new masterpiece will debut every ten days from May through August, giving collector's a rare opportunity to own a museum-sized and museum-quality piece by some of the world's top Wildlife and Western Artists.

Once again, Gallery by the Lakes has assembled an amazing collection of art exploring the most fundamental of artistic skills: drawing.  Andrew is pleased to be a part of this show alongside many of his best contemporaries from around the globe.  The show encompasses everything from small preparatory studies to large works, all focusing on the subtleties of line and value. Denman's offerings this year include a new series exploring harvest mice (see image to right), among other new pieces.  Expert Gallery managers Madeleine and Kate are ready to assist you if you email, call, or visit the gallery in person.

Andrew Denman is excited to exhibit a new body of original arwork at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum in the upcoming "Desert Senses" show. The desert has long been a muse for creativity, irresistible to artists’ quest for deeper meaning through representation in art. The otherworldly flora and fauna and sheer resilience of those who make the desert their home are alluring characters for interpretation through the creative process. This exhibition features the work of four regional artists, including Andrew Denman. Each explores their local patch of desert and beyond through a contemporary lens unique to them. Through their distinctive styles, they guide the viewer through the magic of the desert and help bring to light the need for conservation of this magical place. The work of Dianne Bennett, Andrew Denman, Megan Johnson and Daniel Prendergast portrays aspects of the desert and its wildlife, expressed through signs, symbols, visual metaphors and the passing of time.

Join the ASDM for an exclusive Preview & Artist's Reception on December 9th from 4-6pm. The exhibiton can be viewed from December 10, 2022 through March 5, 2023 during regular gallery hours. General Museum admission applies.

On September 17th, Andrew will be participating for a second time in the Jackson Hole Wyoming Chamber of Commerce Fall Arts Festival QuickDraw.

Andrew Deman (pictured at right with fellow artist Cathy Ferrell) will be a returning guest instructor at this year's Susan Kathleen Black (SKB) Foundation Workshop in Dubois, WY, where he will be giving demonstrations and artist critiques. After several years absence due to Covid-19, Andrew is excited to return to his favorite annual workshop event, which is as much family reunion as artist gathering. Denman has been affiliated with SKB since their very first workshop, now over twenty years ago, and can heartily endorse this event. Featured instructors this year are Aaron Blaise and Julie Jeppsen, with returning guest instructors including Guy Combes, Suzie Seery-Lester, Caleb Goggins, and MANY more. Currently the workshop is at well below capacity, which is a great opportunity for those who have applied in previous years only to find the workshop sold out almost immediately following the opening of registration. For those unable to attend, in person, there is also a virtual component this year.

The SKB Foundation, created for the advancement of art education, was initially established in 2001 as a memorial fund by James E. Parkman in honor of his wife, Susan Kathleen Black, who died unexpectedly just before Christmas 2000 after a lengthy illness. Susan Kathleen was a devoted artist and student who took every opportunity to learn from master artists and skilled experts to develop her own talent. In early 2003 the memorial fund was granted 501 (c )(3) status and became the Susan Kathleen Black Foundation, Inc. Its mission is to continue to fund art education for a broad range of art programs throughout the nation, while giving artists of all ages the opportunity to develop their skills and achieve their goals as artists. In addition to numerous ongoing school programs, the Foundation hosts an annual workshop for professional and aspiring artists at the Headwaters Conference Center each fall in Dubois, WY.

Join Andrew Denman as he shares the secrets to his dramatically different approach to painting in an easy, step-by-step tutorial. Denman is known for his beautiful portrayals of wildlife in a unique style combining realism with stylization and abstraction. You will employ a series of thick, impasto underpaintings, cover over with many layers of gesso, then sand down to reveal astonishing textures, patterns, and colors, which can either stand on their own, function as an abstract foil to any subject, or provide brilliant underlayment for natural textures like fur, feathers, bark, rocks, and grass. The first three days will focus on a series of easy-to-follow exercises which will provide you all the tools necessary to practice or even master this technique to create a variety of effects in any genre or subject of painting, not just wildlife. The last two days, students will put what they have learned to practical use, creating a small finished painting of their own. If you want to try something entirely new, this is your workshop! Some specialized materials will be provided.

This July, Astoria Fine Art in Jackson Hole, WY, will host "Focus on Contemporary Wildlife Artists”, an exciting show featuring new paintings by Andrew Denman. Denman will focus on new work featuring mammals, including an enormous life-sized bear, as well as his ongoing "Totem" and "String Theory" Series. Denman will show alongside other contemporary masters in Astoria's stable of reknowned artists, including Mark Eberhard, Joshua Tobey, and Don Rambadt, with whom Denman had a two-man exhibition, "Between the Lines," last year.

Be a part of a new art phenomenon, the Quarantine Quick-Study. It started as a lark on Facebook, when Denman posted a colorful, gestural mixed media painting of a Vermilion Flycatcher on April 7th and offered it for just $250 postage paid to the first person to send him a private message. It sold in just eight minutes. Between April 7th and this writing (June 10th, 2020) Denman has sold over thirty of these little gems to collectors all over the US. Once a week, Denman posts one of these studies for sale on Facebook, and they seldom last more than a few hours, but the artist has created more than a dozen as commissions and offered even more to individual collectors by "first-right of refusal." If you have something in mind, don't be shy.

Every year wildlife artists and art collectors the world over descend on the National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, for the Western Visions show. This gala event is the Museum's biggest fundraiser of the year and a terrific opportunity for collectors to choose form a wide selection of pieces by some of wildlife and western art's most sought after painters and sculptors.

Andrew is pleased to participate in this prestigious exhibition for his thirteenth consecutive year. This year's offerings include "String Theory #3: Lesser Goldfinches," and "Hum" (Pictured). Both will be available by fixed price bid, either in person or by proxy. Please contact the museum for more information.

This August, Astoria Fine Art in Jackson Hole, WY, will host " Between the Lines”, an exciting show featuring new paintings by Andrew Denman and new sculptures by Don Rambadt. Denman will focus on his ongoing "Totem Series," whimsical and thought-provoking pieces featuring birds and animals arranged in precarious towers, and his new "String Theory Series," which focuses on birds interacting with abstract shapes, lines, and vibrant color fields. Don's new body of work, "Uncut," will explore a rawer, more spontaneous approach to his work. While these sculptures will still capture the stylized, open forms we have come to expect, the artist is challenging himself to compose the works using only cut-offs and “scraps” from his other projects, with a bare minimum of manipulation and editing.

Andrew Denman is pleased to announce, "Pattern & Poise" a two-man show featuring Denman's paintings and sculpture by Simon Gudgeon. The exhibition will open this November in a newly renovated gallery space at Sculpture by the Lakes, a uniquely beautiful waterfront sculpture park nestled in the scenic beauty of Dorset, England.
