About "Gemsbok on Desert Sands"

Vivienne Lawrence reinterprets an original abstract painting by Spanish artist Guanse, adding her own hand-painted gemsbok based on photographs taken in Namibia. The top sections are adorned with African amber beads and brass charms from a deconstructed African necklace. Desert Sand with Gemsbok blends European abstraction with African wildlife and symbolism, creating a striking fusion of cultures, materials, and artistic expression.

About Vivienne

Vivienne, daughter of Bobby, grew up in the Lowveld in a home full of art. After school, she did a secretarial course and then studied ceramics in Italy for a year.

She worked as a ceramic artist for 14 years and had a small studio at the Craft Gallery in Rocky Drift. Her first show at the Winkler Hotel in White River sold out, followed by another at the Nelspruit Library.

In the 1990s, Vivienne began taking photos of wildlife while travelling with her husband John Bassi, a helicopter pilot working in game capture. They travelled across Southern Africa, and she also visited Kenya twice for photography.

Later, Vivienne started painting on fabric in her studio at Casterbridge and held shows in the Lowveld and Johannesburg.

In 2018, Vivienne became ill with a brain tumour and had to stop working. With support from her cousin Heather, she began painting again--using her left hand. The artworks she creates now show her strength and love for art.

Today, Vivienne makes bold silkscreen prints of animals with African patterns. Her work is used in hotels, lodges, offices, and homes.

She also makes prints, pillow covers, table runners, and scarves.
