The experience and representation of the horizon, specifically in my case the division between sea and sky in maritime environments, has long been a core stimulus for my imagery.

This began when as a very young child I travelled to and from the UK by ship with my mother. Watching from the sterns of these vessels as their wakes disappeared towards the sea horizon are some of my most powerful and persistent early memories.

Spending much leisure time as an adolescent sailing on Port Phillip Bay strengthened this fascination with the marine horizon for the sailor must keep an eye constantly alert to changes in wind speed and direction evident there.

Later adult investigation of the constantly changing colours of this fundamental division has further enhanced my awareness of both its persistence and mutability.

The physical phenomena of water and air and the emotional mystery of their presence as the distant sea horizon; poetically evoked as - the offing - all find expression in my works in this exhibition.

Learn more about Ken Smith

Ken Smith’s landscape and still life paintings offer delicate glimpses of a world seen in equal measure. Continuing to respond to the landscape of the Mornington Peninsula region where he lives, Smith's images explore an ongoing attempt to articulate the visual characteristics of light and tone through the practice of on site and studio painting. While unapologetically straightforward in their choice of subject matter and repeated iteration of visual elements, their underlying design reveals a complex and systematic exploration of light and its reception.

Artworks currently on exhibition will be shipped once the exhibition concludes.
