Hi, I'm Bianca Vinther, the creator of The Pointless Artist. On Saturday, 16 April 2022, I had an inspiring conversation with Anne Brenner, French painter from Paris, France.
Anne is a skilled observer, explorer, and painter of nature, especially wild animals. She approaches life in its infinite diversity with the zest, curiosity, and adventurousness of a 19th-century explorer although she doesn’t work distinctly as an explorer or a scientist but as an artist. She uses field work and silent observation to build her art not as an intruder into nature's secret chambers, but as a humble yet curious discoverer. Her unique experience of tracking animals in Africa is a milestone in her career, which has paved the way for her further development as a wildlife painter.
In this episode, we talk in depth about Anne's creative process and the way she observes Nature. We also talk about science and adventure, and the intricacies of tracking animals in Africa and producing a body of art works that are authentic testimonies of life itself. In this art talk, Anne reveals the secrets behind her works from the Ivory Coast, Canada, and the Italian wild mountains. She also discusses the ways in which she connects with the natural world and her understanding of wild animals as invaluable creatures in their own integrity and as pendant to humans.
Listen to this podcast episode with Anne Brenner and enjoy the adventure in the African bush and the Canadian forests!
