"Sovereign Grace" beautifully captures the strength and quiet majesty of a lioness through a bold, expressive palette. Artist Anthony Gadd skillfully blends realism and abstraction, portraying not just the animal’s form but her essence. Her amber eyes pierce the canvas with calm intensity, radiating wisdom, resilience, and presence.
Strokes of ochre, cobalt, sienna, and ivory create a sense of motion and emotion, with her fur painted in energetic marks that reflect instinct and poise. The background transitions from shadowy navy to fiery crimson and teal, framing her regal aura.
Measuring 105 x 105 cm, "Sovereign Grace" invites viewers to connect with themes of feminine strength and primal intuition.
As a self-described perfectionist, Gadd balances control and spontaneity in his work. “I treasure the happy accident,” he explains, allowing freshness to shape his expressive style. Inspired by the beauty of the sea and landscape, he creates pieces that resonate with power and emotional truth.
This work is more than a portrait; it’s a statement.

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.
