Work of late artist William Crozier returning to Skibbereen for exhibition

William Crozier may have been born in Scotland, but the late artist spent many happy years in West Cork. Tina Darb O’Sullivan previews a major exhibition of his work in Skibbereen

GIVEN that William Crozier spent so much time in West Cork, it’s highly appropriate that many of the late artist’s works should be returning to Skibbereen for a major exhibition.

The Glasgow-born artist (1930-2011) is best known for his lyrical landscape paintings, made after moving to West Cork in the mid-1980s. These are the main focus of the exhibition at Uillinn: West Cork Arts Centre, with his earlier, less familiar work dominating a subsequent show at the Irish Museum of Modern Art in Dublin.
