“Wolf Ademeit’s world-class collection of photography simply titled “Animals” represents a unique and distinctive body of work. Rather than focus on traditional wildlife images of animals in their natural habitats, Wolf Ademeit spent five years, painstakingly spent watching the movements and facial expressions of animals in zoos around his native Germany. The results of his patience and the creative eye were not simply to create a pictorial documentary of animals but to create an emotive series of animal portraits each set against a black background, which exquisitely shows the majesty, expressions and human-like qualities of these endangered animals. The Brett Gallery has curated an exclusive, limited edition collection of Wolf Ademeit finest “animal portraits” with are available in a range of sizes to suit every wall. These beautifully framed images have amazing presence, each one of which makes a statement piece of art. Every image in our “Animals” collection comes with the exclusive Brett Gallery leather and embossed certificate of authenticity personally signed by Wolf Ademeit. We trust you will enjoy these imposing images as much as we have compiled this truly unique collection of animal portraiture. “
