London gunmaker John Rigby & Co. is delighted to announce that its celebrated Rigby Art team is appearing at the 2025 Dallas Safari Club Convention, which will be held in Atlanta from 9 to 12 January. Visitors can experience a showcase of new artworks, including sculptures, oil paintings and prints, from Rigby’s lineup of leading wildlife and sporting artists.
The Rigby booth (#4251) will feature Geoffrey Lignon, head of Rigby Art and renowned Rigby engraver, alongside Montana-based sculptor Kasey A. Nixon and UK-based wildlife artist Justin Prigmore.
Kasey Nixon will present five bronze sculptures, including two eagerly anticipated new works:
“Down the Chute” – This stunning bronze captures a bighorn ram navigating the rugged wilderness of central Idaho, a moment inspired by Nixon’s own encounter with the animal. Offered as a limited edition of 12 castings, the piece highlights the ram’s strength and grace.
“Reign of Terror Ended: The Final Stand of the Champawat Tigress” – A dramatic bronze sculpture commemorating Jim Corbett’s legendary first man-eater hunt, which led to him being gifted his iconic .275 Rigby rifle. Limited to just eight castings, this sculpture is a powerful tribute to Corbett’s legacy and Rigby’s history.
“I am deeply honored to once again be a part of the team with John Rigby & Co. and Rigby Art,” Nixon shared. “Every piece tells a story, and I look forward to sharing them with visitors in Atlanta.”
Additional bronze works on display include “The Old Guard” (depicting a bull elk), “Burning Sage” (mule deer) and “The Sentinel” (miniature bighorn ram).
UK wildlife artist Justin Prigmore returns to the DSC Convention with four original oil paintings that capture wildlife in its raw beauty and power:
“The Gladiators” is a powerful depiction of two buffalo bulls mid-battle, their horns locked in a brutal contest of strength. “Spotted” depicts a stalking leopard disrupted by a vigilant gazelle and helmeted Guinea fowl, whose calls betray the predator’s presence. Prigmore’s muted colours emphasise the leopard’s seamless camouflage within its environment. “The Buffalo Hunters” takes us to a tense standoff as lions close in on a buffalo herd, their focus on a calf while the adults rally in defense. The air is alive with tension, dust and anticipation. “Drinks All Around” depicts a joyful scene as elephants gather along the Chobe River during Botswana’s dry season, capturing their exuberance as they splash and drink.
Prigmore will also paint live at the Rigby stand, working on a new cheetah piece. “Last year’s DSC was an unbelievable success,” Prigmore commented. “Everything I brought, from originals to prints, sold out. I even sold a piece from my Scottish studio based on a photo of it! Being part of the Rigby Art team at this event is truly special and the DSC Convention holds a unique place in my heart.”
Visitors to the Rigby stand can speak to Geoffrey Lignon, Kasey A. Nixon, and Justin Prigmore, learning about the stories and processes behind each masterpiece. With exclusive bronzes, new original paintings and live art demonstrations, the Rigby Art showcase promises to be a highlight of the 2025 Dallas Safari Club Convention.
