A bit about me.

Dan Bassett

I was fortunate to grow up in St Ives, a Cornish fishing town with a large artist community that seemed the norm. We had money, and then we had no money, stability and no stability. I'm a peaceful man that enjoys but avoids fighting. 

I started painting for something to do and it morphed into a way to explore my introspective nature and what is around me. I enjoy scribbling drunken commentary from inside my own thoughts and conversations overheard around me. My aim isn't to churn out postcard art that is widely tolerated but to to produce work that resonates with someone and is loved. 

​

I didn't go to art school and I could do with swearing a bit less apparently. 

​

I am embracing the opportunities that come to me in this brief, beautiful and sometimes hard life however chad that sounds.
