BIOGRAPHY OF STEPHEN ALLWRIGHT
Stephen John Allwright was born in Prince Albert in the Great Karoo in 1969. He received a Bachelor of Social Science degree (Economics and Politics) from the University of Cape Town with honours in Economics. Stephen is a self-taught artist and has been practising since 1998. He currently lives and works in Barrydale with his wife and young son. Allwright began painting in earnest after leaving Cape Town to spend two years in near complete isolation in Die Hel, a remote village in the Swartberg Mountains near his birthplace, Prince Albert.
Since then he has been prolific, exhibiting, most recently, at the Tyburn Gallery in London and at SMITH in Cape Town. In 2017 SMITH had the distinct pleasure of exhibiting over 60 works by this exceptional fine artist.
