Peter James Smith @Orexart

In Historia Aqua A History of Water, from 13 March - 1 April.

His new suite of paintings takes us on an Odyssean maritime adventure from Dusky Bay to the Southern Ocean; to the Isles of Scilly and towards Greece. These paintings show us the power of the sea, the truth of mathematics, the allure of history, and the path of comets.

“When people are at the beach, they always seem to pause to watch the sun going down over the sea, reflecting on the day that has been, or the days to come,” says the artist. Perhaps there is a feeling of inner strength, an almost mathematical certainty that we derive from the constancy of the sea and its place in our collective history.
