About this event

A major new touring exhibition by the Cornwall-based artist and environmentalist

For 40 years artist Tony Foster has painted ‘en plein air’ in the wild places of the world, undertaking expeditions to rainforests, icebergs, deserts and mountains. In 1994 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society.

Foster’s watercolours reflect on the forces of nature and change in these wild places, his powers of observation result in work which is both scientifically valuable and sublimely beautiful.

In his major new exhibition, Exploring Time: A Painter’s Perspective, Foster focuses on continuity and transformation in ourselves and the world around us. From the earliest convulsions which formed our planet to fleeting shifts in weather, he poses the question of how our own lifespans relate to both the timeless and the transient.

This touring exhibition, sponsored by The Foster Museum in Palo Alto, California, begins here before heading to the Royal Watercolour Society in London, the Dayton Art Institute in Ohio, and other venues across the United States.
