Brian Hammond – His Story & Artworks
Over the next couple of months we here at Envy would like to introduce you to the amazing artists whose work we feature here every month on the auctions. You will get a wonderful glimpse of the world through their eyes and their art, as they share their souls with you and we showcase their art in all its glory. And if you happen to hear a particular piece asking you “please take me home with you”, then by all means heed the call folks, because in most cases our artists are even prepared to offer you a 3-month payment plan if needed, and when you invest in beauty it will remain with you a joy forever! MEET THE ARTIST BRIAN DE VILLIERS HAMMOND.
A versatile guy and former matriculant from Potchefstroom Boy’s High, Brian’s Dad was Chief Surveyor at Stilfontein mine, so from the start his life took an interesting line! Brian studied farming, and in this profession, he traipsed from Viljoenskroon to Vryburg to the Eastern Cape. But even before this, his painting made a start – old artist friend, Ken McMillan helped guide him in part. Painting in oils is his preferred desire, creating landscapes, expanses, and skies on fire! Play of light at twilight and dusk expands the flow of emotion from the brush in Brian’s hand. Brian feels what he paints, and his chief inspiration is the beauty and magnificence of God’s creation. Take your time and browse through his art, and you will connect with the passion in Brian’s very heart.
