Two internationally-acclaimed artists, Guy Combes and Andrew Denman, will be holding their first joint exhibition at Gloucester’s Nature in Art, hoping to inject a little wildlife-inspired creativity into the art buffs of the county.

Running from Tuesday 7 to Sunday 26 August 2012, the two artists will also be giving special presentations about the exhibition in a reception being held on the evening of Saturday 11 August 2012.

Visitors can look forward to seeing more than 20 original works in the exhibition, including charismatic megafauna and the remarkable denizens of one of Africa’s most biologically rich landscapes from Combes, as well as an exploration of the birds of North and South American from Californian Denman.

Award-winning artist Denman is said to paint wildlife with the precision of a naturalist coupled with a thoroughly modern sensibility that allows for the abstract and descriptive to meld seamlessly in his acrylic compositions, according to organisers.

Whilst Combes is praised for his use of oil and canvas to communicate an extensive knowledge of his native African wildlife with an old master’s technique, a novelist’s love for dramatic narrative, and a 21st century eye for colour and design.
