Wildlife Artists

 

Black-throated Diver

Diver- collagraph by Lisa Hooper

The Society of Wildlife Artists annual exhibition The Natural Eye opens today at the Mall Galleries, running until Sunday 4th November, 2018.   Over 350 works are shown – all created by artists dedicated to and inspired by wildlife.

What could be better!?   If you like wildlife art that is!   There’s a lot to see and take in though- so allow yourself plenty time if visiting.  Within the exhibition is a section called Out of the Frame, which as the name suggests, is full of unframed works, which include fascinating glimpses into sketchbooks, preliminary drawings, and masterly renditions of birds and animals made at speed in the field.

I do tend to be rather one-track and head straight for the sculpture, but there are gems across the board.  A few of my favourites amongst the brilliantly accomplished wildlife inspired collection on show are:

Divers by Louise Scammell

Diving Birds – Wood Lithograph by Louise Scammell

 

Marabou by Liane Stevenson
