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.
