Since 2013, William Stewart has regularly returned to exploring the artistic potential of horizons – particularly seascape horizons. We had been planning for some time to bring his series of horizons together in one exhibition. Creating the Horizons exhibition in the current restrictive climate of lockdown lent them an added poignancy. The subtle studies in colour and light – at times reflective and meditative – offer an aesthetic opportunity to transcend the stifling restrictions that governed life in 2020.
