Lot Description

Brian Grimm (b. 1968)
The Rise of Autumn - Whitetail Deer
signed "Brian Grimm" lower right
oil on board, 16 by 20 in.

"A stately whitetail buck asserts his presence in the autumn light to an approaching rival as the doe senses the tension. The rut is well underway." - Brian Grimm

Brian Grimm's art explores the animal world and invites viewers to become immersed. The faithful portrayal of wildlife in his paintings is supported by years in the field. Strong brushwork, confident style, and attentive editing reflect respect for the animal, while also resting on the foundations of design principles.

Grimm was born in Bastrop, Texas, and raised on a nearby farm. He earned a commercial art degree at Austin Community College and learned from a litany of professors at the forefront of the Austin art scene. After college, he worked as a graphic designer in Austin. He became known for hand lettering and sign painting. His first foray into fine art was at outdoor festivals. He found an audience and gallery representation at his first show. National representation and museum invitations soon followed. His work has traversed the spectrum of Western, en plein air, and impressionist art, continuing to grow and innovate, while focusing solely on wildlife art for the last twenty-five years. The landscape supports the wildlife, and weather is a recurring theme. All act in unison.

Grimm has exhibited at the National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson, Wyoming, and his work can be found in periodicals, such as "Sporting Classics," "Western Art Collector," and "Southwest Art Magazine." Today Brian and his wife live in Fredericksburg, Texas, overlooking the Hill Country.

This work depicts a trophy ten point buck and a doe along the edge of the woods.
