News of forthcoming releases
After showing the original of the picture 'Brave new world' at an
exhibition last year it recieved so much praise and attention David has
decided to release it as a limited edition later this year. The picture
depicting a hatchling green turtle drifting through some sea kelp was
commented on by numerous fans and collectors, many of whom said it
perfectly captured the swaying of the seas currents with the feeling of
the open ocean. The picture will be released as a large format print
with a limited number yet to be disclosed.
'Pencils Patience and Primates'
In March of 2007 we saw the release of David's first book 'Pencils Patience and Primates' published by Hawksbill Fine Art. The book is hardback and in coffee table format, 187 pages long with over 100 illustrations in both colour and black and white.
For the first time ever, the work of wildlife artist David Dancey-Wood has been collected into this single volume.
'Pencils Patience and Primates' opens a portfolio of his work demonstrating the wide range of his subjects, some of which have not been available before to the general public. Along with superb the reproduction of his pictures, he gives a remarkable account of his struggles, successes and dreams for the future. Tracing a line through from early childhood encounters with pencils and animals to jungle adventures, it captures something of the drive behind this wildlife artist.
"Artists and scientists share a role in shaping people's view of the world, especially in the fields of wildlife art and conservation. David Dancey-Wood is unique in that he is both exceptional artist and compassionate conservationist. His art compels us to save them all, from the tiny harvest mouse to the snow leopard."
Tom Macarthy - The International Snow Leopard Conservation Trust
"As someone who works in oils and colour, I am astonished at the dramatic impact that David's drawings have, whether of a human face or a hippo. With such a diversity of subjects, his work is of outstanding quality and deserves to be recognized. I am sure that this book will go a long way to achieve this aim.
I wish it every possible success."
David Shepherd O.B.E.
"Pencils, Patience and Primates is a must for artists young or old who have a passion for their work......he is the artistic explorer of the natural world"
Jim and Alison Cronin - Monkey World
