Paul Haggith ‘Aqua Iridescence’
Gallery One is thrilled to share a new solo exhibition with Paul Haggith to showcase his stunning seascape paintings.
“In this series, I try to capture the quiet ways we connect with water — its ability to hold us, reflect us, and link us to the landscape around us. The paintings explore moments of immersion and observation: figures suspended within the fluid space of water or the ocean seen from the stillness of the shore. Light is central to the work, transforming the surface into a play of specular reflection and shaping how we experience place and presence. Through shifts in scale and perspective, from lively groups of bathers to solitary swimmers to open expanses, I aim to reveal the subtle interplay between people, water, and land. Together, the works form a quiet meditation on connection and belonging within the natural world.”
