Donovan Stanford

Mixed-Media Contemporary Artist

We are thrilled to present Donovan Stanford, mixed media contemporary artist. Having grown up on the rugged beaches of South Africa, his large scale canvasses echo these magnificent wide open spaces, exquisitely conveying their essence. He has the ability to express through abstract multi media canvasses, the elemental forces of nature. Notably, specialising in acrylic and oil on canvas, Donovan is best known for his large-scale moody landscapes and seascapes. His paintings, which often feature huge skies, arid vistas, and windswept, harsh west coast seascapes, convey an emotive, sensory experience.

Showcased Work

His unique technique involves dripping, pouring, scraping, spraying, and wiping the medium onto the surface, creating works that feel spontaneous and full of life. The artist says, ‘My work has always been driven by contrast — light and shadow, chaos and stillness, beauty and desolation.’

Donovan moved from his native South Africa to the United Kingdom in 2017 and now lives in the Kent countryside with his wife and daughters.
