Stephen Townley Bassett, International Artist &

Writer, is a specialist in the use of ancient

pigments, paints and implements.

His documentary works of bushman paintings

evoke aesthetic beauty as well as intellectual stimulation

and are national treasures to South Africa's heritage

Stephen's documentary paintings are created using pigments and materials he has collected in the field.  His years walking the mountains looking for caves with San paintings, led him to explore another genre of art, namely Dreamlines and Pathways through the African Landscape © .  These paintings combine the narrative with the visual,  and present Africa in a unique and captivating way.

Stephen's years of meticulously documenting  Bushman art and his time living on a farm in the Eastern Cape has allowed him to master a similar accuracy in his oil paintings.
