Sepia Africa is a hauntingly evocative piece by Anthony Gadd that captures the raw essence of the African landscape in a palette of quiet earth tones and misted textures. Stretching across a panoramic canvas, this work unfolds like a memory, soft, subdued, and steeped in timeless elegance.
The composition features windswept acacia trees standing resilient on an arid plain, their silhouettes etched delicately against a vast, almost dreamlike sky. Subtle gradients of sepia, ash, and parchment blend to create a misty atmosphere, suggesting a moment suspended in time, where land and sky merge in poetic ambiguity.
Gadd’s technique here is more restrained than in some of his bolder works, allowing the emotional weight of the scene to rest on nuance rather than contrast. The texture of the land, the whispering line of distant hills, and the understated light evoke the quiet dignity of Africa’s expansive wilderness.
This piece is ideal for collectors drawn to minimalism with depth. It brings warmth, nostalgia, and serenity to any space, perfect for long hallways, living rooms, or offices that crave a sense of quiet escape. Sepia Africa is not just a landscape; it’s an atmosphere—timeless, tender, and deeply rooted in place.

About Anthony Gadd
Anthony Gadd has had a passion for art since his early school days in the Eastern Cape. A childhood spent roaming farms and interacting with wildlife gave him a deep respect for his environment, which he now translates into his South African landscape paintings.
A perfectionist at heart, Anthony Gadd chooses each subject's pose and composition carefully. But whether capturing intimate portraits of South African wildlife, an unspoiled landscape, or the sea's wildness, his work leaves room for surprise and playfulness. "My style has been described as loose, bold, and expressive. I treasure the 'happy accident' which brings gesture and freshness to each piece I create."
"I think I've matured from my original, more realistic style to become looser and more abstract." His approach includes doing most of his painting with four-inch brushes (the type used to paint a house) "so the brushwork has gesture and freshness."
Gadd has won the SA Society of Artists award for best-mixed media, holds permanent exhibitions in numerous galleries, has participated in several solo and group exhibitions, and is frequently commissioned. Gallery owners and art lovers can't get enough of his unique and dynamic approach to art.
Anthony works from his studio in Cape Town, is married to artist and author Ann, and has two children.
