Vincent Basham is an extraordinary natural talent! Vincent was born in the ancient borough port and market town of Maldon Essex. He has drawn inspiration from his early years spent living and working close to the jagged, splendor of England’s beautiful Cornish coast. The relationship between Cornwall and the sea is inextricably linked both in its landscape and culture, highly evident in the artists work. Vincent’s fine seascapes and sunsets have also taken inspiration from his personal affection for the Maldives and Cyprus. Canvases are mainly in oils although Vincent has more recently begun experimentation with water colours.
Vincent Basham is a vocational artist. His work exudes a quality of intense drama; the crashing seas are almost audible and a hint of salty sea air presents itself as your mind is deceived by Vincent’s work! And then again moods are softened in other pieces, bringing the spectacle of sublime majesty in a blazing sun quenching itself in a subdued sea at day’s end. Vincent the man is a quiet somewhat intense person with a dry sense of humour. His attention to detail is evident in all he does allowing his passion and immense skill to spill on to every canvas. Vincent’s work is highly sought with editions limited to 195. To discuss commissioned pieces please contact the gallery on 01263 711040
