Coast To Coast, the artist’s ninth solo exhibition, is inspired
by the endless diversity of New Zealand’s 15,000 kilometre
coastline. From Northland’s Cape Reinga, where land ends
and the Tasman Sea and Pacific Ocean unite, to the awe
inspiring alpine scenery of the South, Williams excels.
New Zealand, a land of such contrasting coastline, gifts the
artist with a wealth of subject matter and challenges. The
sheltered, sandy white beaches of the East Coast are an
artistic world away from the dramatic scenery of the rugged
West. Born in the South, now living in the North, the artist
has a wide knowledge and deep passion for the landscape of
his homeland.
Of this exhibition Williams says: “I’ve particularly enjoyed
creating works for Coast To Coast as it has given me such a
wide scope of new subject matter as well as the opportunity
to re-visit regions I have not been to for many years.” This
exhibition, featuring over 35 new works, promises the viewer
a pictorial journey of joy. Hung throughout boardrooms and
homes worldwide, the contemplative beauty of a Williams’
original quiets the mind and refreshes the soul, reminding us
of what we love best about New Zealand.
