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. WILD THING A/P#11/76(Limited Edition print) Wild or domestic, cat species all over the world show the same behavior. My housecat cleans its fur just as that lion in Africa, or that tiger in India, or that snow leopard in the Himalayas. They all have the same way of stretching when waking up. I love that similarity which occurs also when the female is in heat. In such a period it is impossible to keep your housecat inside. In Africa I watched a lioness do exactly the same thing as the bobcat in my drawing. The power of nature, say our planet, or even the universe, is irresistible. All living things at a certain time get the fever to reproduce. That’s how, for millions of years, the different species kept going. Cats are wonderful in any position, but the inviting position of a female feline is a special challenge for a drawing (or later for a painting), because nothing shows that this creature is a predator, born to kill, but one that wants to keep its species going, ready to accept that male, which she normally would fight off. Using pencil often is a nice alternative to using brush and paint. It’s clean, and a pencil drawing can have a special graphic charm and often is more decorative than a painting. Mostly those pencil drawings are done as studies for future paintings, and this one definitely is begging to be done in color. — Carl Brenders AUTHORIZED GREENWICH WORKSHOP DEALER CONSERVATION DESIGN, INC 14 VALLEY ST.
