After years as Early Birds Art Gallery, our story continues under a new name: Dedrie Gallery. A name that reflects our evolution – from the first ‘birds’ to a gallery that today forms a broad and international platform for contemporary art. Our collection brings together artists who, each in their own way, produce innovative and powerful work. At the same time, we are continuing to build a dialogue with the secondary market, where big names such as Folon, Alechinsky and Christo also have a place. In this way, Dedrie Gallery aims to build a bridge between the present and the future, between established masters and the artists of tomorrow. Zo wil Dedrie Gallery een brug slaan tussen heden en toekomst, tussen gevestigde meesters en de kunstenaars van morgen.

An encounter in the sky – the story of two falcons In June 2024, I took my son Francis on a road trip through France—a journey driven by curiosity, art, and our shared love of nature. One of the most memorable stops was a visit to artist Olivier Bertrand and his wife Caroline. We spent two days in their warm, welcoming home, surrounded by the tranquility of Provence.

From the beginning of January 2025, you can sign up with one of the galleries representing me for a bronze sculpture that will be exhibited in the museum. The certificate will also include the history of the sculpture. A new catalogue will be published in March with the sculptures created after my book ‘Timeless Sculptures’.

September 16 I received some incredibly exciting news this week from the United States: my bronze kiwi sculpture has been acquired by The Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum. This marks the second time one of my sculptures has been added to their collection, the first being the sword-billed hummingbird. What makes this acquisition particularly meaningful to me is that the museum specializes in Birds in Art from all around the world. The fact that my work has found a place in a museum dedicated to Birds in Art is a true honor and inspires me to continually push the boundaries of my craft when it comes to depicting birds. As I reflect on this achievement, I can't help but feel a sense of accomplishment and motivation to set the bar even higher. In fact, I'm already well into the advanced stages of designing my next sculpture for the upcoming 'Birds in Art 2024' exhibition. In my mind's eye, I can already see the finished piece, and I find myself happily floating on cloud nine as I immerse myself in this creative process.

"Exciting News: 'Crescendo', Mark Dedrie's Exclusive Swan, Travels to Paris Next Week for A Prestigious Group Exhibition of 18 Animaliers! Mark Dedrie's stunning bronze sculpture, 'Crescendo', is about to shine internationally.

Don't miss this rare opportunity to admire 'Crescendo' in all its glory and enjoy the creations of 17 other talented animalier artists. This exhibition promises to be an unforgettable celebration of art and beauty."

September 9 – November 26, 2023 Birds inspire us in endless ways through their flight, beauty, and delightful mannerisms. The 48th annual exhibition celebrates avian wonders through fresh interpretations in original paintings, sculptures, and graphics created in the last three years.

They selected two- and three-dimensional works by 94 artists that will comprise the exhibition along with the work of 23 Master Artists, previously honored by the Museum and who are exempt from the jury process.

Throughout the book, Mark also tells what the sources of inspiration are, which are affect work. Watch and enjoy Timeless Sculptures? You can do that from March 12 in the Early Birds Art Gallery

After two years of no trade fair participation, we are eagerly looking forward to the resumption of canceled events. Always nice to be able to show your creations at other locations.

After a considerable period of self-isolation, there is a beautiful new collection of sculptures to discover. And this in one of the most beautiful galleries in Knokke! Mark is therefore looking forward to meeting you again during the opening weekend of August 6-7-8

September Hours 9 a.m.–2 p.m. Daily www.societyofanimalartists.com Purchase Animal Impressions Works Entrance to the exhibit is included in museum admission or memberships. ​How do animals impress upon us an appreciation of the natural world, of our connection to the animal kingdom, to our planet and to our own humanity? What are our impressions of these animals and their lives? This exhibition is a collection of works from members of the Society of Animal Artists that consider and interpret these questions through a variety of mediums. The Society of Animal Artists is an international organization for artists who paint, sculpt, or draw animals and wildlife, founded in 1960. The 60 pieces in this special exhibit represent artists from 7 countries and 27 states within the U.S.

Artwork from 114 artists from throughout the world is included in the 45th annual Birds in Art exhibition. This year, 510 artists submitted 830 artworks for consideration by the three-person jury. The exhibition includes artwork by the Museum’s 2020 Master Artist Timothy David Mayhew, 22 who were named Master Artists during previous Birds in Art exhibitions, and 91 artists whose work was selected by the jury. Birds in Art, which presents original paintings, sculptures, and graphics created within the last three years by worldwide artists, once again celebrates avian marvels through fresh artistic interpretations. See this list of 2020 Birds in Art artists’ names whose work is included in the 2020 exhibition.

Taking pictures of highly polished images is just about the hardest thing in photography. The images are mirrors from head to toe that show the environment in their shape ... ... see if the photographer succeeded.

"GREAT NEWS" The Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum has decided to purchase my Sword-billed Hummingbird for their permanent collection. The Woodson Art Museum is not just another museum, it is home to the annual Birds in Art exhibition. This exhibition, where Mark Dedrie's sword-billed hummingbird can be admired, runs until December 1, 2019. The organization expects more than 16,000 visitors. After the exhibition, the Sword-billed Hummingbird goes "on tour" to the Wichita Falls Museum of Art in Texas, the Newington-Cropsey Foundation in New York and finally the Wendell Gilley Museum in Maine. Then it returns to the Woodson Art Museum collection.

In June we had big news: two works by Mark Dedrie are included in famous international exhibitions. "Sword-billed Hummingbird" moves to Birds in Art at the Woodson Art Museum in Wausau, USA. And "Grouse" travels to Art and the Animal at The Briscoe Western Art Museum in San Antonio, Texas.

On the left you can see a snapshot of an educational installation of the complete modeling and casting process of a bronze sculpture. This installation was donated by the artist to the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum in 2019.

Two works by Mark Dedrie, ‘Sword-billed Hummingbird’ and ‘Grouse’, have spread their wings and will embark on a transatlantic journey in the autumn of 2019. Mark’s work has been included for the first time in the Birds in Art exhibition. He will also be participating in the ‘Art and the Animal’ museum show for the second time.

You can visit the largest collection of bronze sculptures by Mark Dedrie every weekend from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and during the holidays.
