Dedrie Gallery


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.

Kiwi Sculpture find new home at Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum"

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.
