William Crozier: Nature into Abstraction
Landscape-inspired paintings produced by the Scottish/Irish artist.
Not to be confused with the earlier Scottish painter of the same name, this William Crozier lived from 1930 until his death in 2011 and produced the majority of his work from the mid 1950s onwards.

Crozier was born in Scotland and educated at Glasgow School of Art, before moving to London to establish his career as an abstract painter. He became an Irish citizen in 1973. From the early 1980s until his death he had a long and successful exhibiting career, dividing his time between West Cork and Hampshire.
This exhibition focuses on his interpretations of nature from the 1960s. Not every work is a roaring success, but the strongest ones are those were Crozier goes wild with colour, the vibrancy jumping out from the canvas.
William Crozier: Nature into Abstraction is on at The Lightbox, Chobham Road, Woking, GU21 until 19 June 2022
