William Crozier Art

Irish, 1930-2011
William Crozier was a late 20th century Irish still-life and landscape painter. Intensely vibrant, the work of Crozier is characterised by bold symbols, patterns and abstracted planes of colour. Crozier explored the themes of landscape and still life with enduring enthusiasm throughout his life. His depictions of the Mediterranean, Irish and English countryside summon the powerful experience of nature, while his modest tabletop arrangements are rendered with a bold monumentality that extends beyond the domestic proportions of the still life genre. Crozier’s paintings are charged with energetic brushstrokes and a dramatic and joyful appreciation of colour. Crozier was born in Scotland and educated at Glasgow School of Art from 1949—53. On graduating he settled in London where he established a reputation as one of the most avant-garde artists of his time through solo exhibitions at the ICA, Drian and Tooth Galleries. Crozier’s peripatetic life took him to Dublin and Paris in the 1950s, then to Andalusia in 1963, locations which proved central to his development as an artist. He became an Irish citizen in 1973. From the early 1980s until his death in 2011 he had a long and successful exhibiting career, dividing his time between West Cork and Hampshire. He took pride in describing himself as a European citizen and allied himself, and his work, consciously with European art and thought. He represented Ireland and the UK overseas, and in 2017 the Irish Museum of Modern Art mounted a two-part retrospective of his work in Dublin and Cork. He was elected to Aosdána in 1992 and was an honorary member of the Royal Hibernian Academy. William Crozier’s work can be seen in the national galleries of Ireland, Canada, Poland and Australia, Tate, London and other major collections in Ireland and the UK.

Artist Motivation - Mandela, Former South African President, Inspirational Words

By Nelson Mandela

Located in Knowle Lane, Cranleigh

Nelson Mandela, Artist's Motivation, Signed Limited Edition Lithograph Many people are unaware that Nelson Mandela turned his hand to art in his 80's as a way of leaving a legacy for his family. He spent time with an art tutor and learnt to draw. In 2002, when creating the The Motivation print, he told Anna and Laura from Belgravia Gallery of his desire to become a full time artist when he retired. This artwork is a handwritten Artist’s Motivation by Nelson Mandela and reads: “Today when I look at Robben Island I see it as a celebration of the struggle and a symbol of the finest qualities of the human spirit, rather than as a monument to the brutal tyranny and oppression of apartheid. Robben Island is a place where courage endured in the face of endless hardship, a place where people kept on believing when it seemed their dreams were hopeless and a place where wisdom and determination overcame fear and human frailty. It is true that Robben Island was once a place of darkness, but out of that darkness has come a wonderful brightness, a light so powerful that it could not be hidden behind prison walls, held back by prison bars...
