Catalogue Note
The vibrant tones of the present work reflect the onset of a brighter palette in the artist's work of the 1980s and the vivid, expressive handling of paint exemplifies the artist's notion that landscape 'is the vehicle through which I can express intangible things. Things which have no narrative. Loss, memory - all can be done through the language of landscape...' (William Crozier, in conversation with Brian McAvera, 'Constructions in Colour and Light', Irish Arts Review, Vol. 20, no.1, p.66).
