Brett’s work is grounded in Africa, its people, its wildlife, and its raw, unfiltered beauty. Raised in South Africa and shaped by overland journeys through the continent, his charcoal artworks capture the essence of a landscape and culture that refuses to be tamed.

His portraits of African tribal men and women honour individuality, adornment, and spirit. Through intricate beadwork, symbolic detailing, and expressive faces, Brett brings tradition to life, creating works that embody resilience and heritage. His wildlife studies, forged from first-hand encounters in the bush, are alive with motion and presence, while his celebrated horse series reflects strength, freedom, and emotional depth.

Beyond these subjects, Brett’s practice expands into sensual human forms, layered wooden artworks inscribed with calligraphy, and clay sculptures enriched with African beadwork. Each piece blurs the boundary between artefact and emotion, inviting a deeply tactile and contemplative experience. His abstract and symbolic works, meanwhile, step away from cultural reference to explore themes of vulnerability, identity, and introspection which resonate equally in contemporary and classic interiors.
