William Morrison is a landscape painter based in Halifax whose oil paintings are deeply informed by the moorlands of West Yorkshire, with their shifting mists, changing weather and expansive horizons. Born in Scotland and brought up in Yorkshire, Morrison explores the relationship between land, atmosphere and memory, creating works that reflect both the physical character of a place and its emotional resonance.
Working primarily in oil, Morrison uses a restrained palette to evoke the subdued tones of the moors and the subtle transitions of light and weather. The stillness before rain, the softness of mist and the drama of approaching storms are recurring elements in his work. Rather than treating the landscape as static, he captures its constant transformation through shifts in light, colour and mood.
