The Wild in Focus: A New Artsy Show

The Wild In Focus

In a first for me I am delighted to announce an online Artsy exhibition - The Wild In Focus - with Thou Art Contemporary, running from August 30th - September 30th.

This is an exciting opportunity to exhibit my work to thousands of people on the art industry’s premier platform and release a new series of images, all visible here.

Thou Art Contemporary

Thou Art Contemporary is a well‑established international gallery specialising in British and international contemporary art from the 20th century onwards. With an active presence in London, Dubai and Glasgow it has demonstrated notable longevity and consistency in the art world, maintaining a dynamic program and client base across multiple cities for many years, representing works from the likes of Andy Warhol, Banksy, Harland Miller, David Shepherd and Keith Haring.

Exhibition Highlights ‍

This is the first time my Alaskan work has been available to purchase - including my favourite piece to date, Wanted on Voyage (currently being prepared to hang in our apartment in England along side To the Ends of the Earth).

On Pride's Rock

Taken in May this year On Pride's Rock is just the second time I have released a panoramic image (following 57 in 2022). Inspired by Stephen Wilkes - who pushes the boundaries of photography with his day to night series - it's always a challenge to try and create something original in East Africa now. Combining three images from the same scene to create this panorama, through the driving rain in Namiri Plains, Tanzania required a relentless amount of trial and error. So many attempts failed and even once it looked like we had a result it required hours of work in post to get it 'just right'.

All the works are available to view and purchase here - and for more information on any pieces please email info@williamfortescue.com

"Thou Art Contemporary are delighted to represent one of the world’s greatest wildlife photographers. Both our founders have shared a lifelong passion for animal conversation and to promote this within our art business is indeed a huge privilege. We look forward to seeing Will’s success continue to grow in the years ahead”

Printing & Framing

All works are printed on Hahnemühle Photo Rag Pearl paper, creating an incredible depth to the images I spend so long creating and comes with a certificate of authenticity, ensuring you know the edition you are collecting will never be repeated.

Over the last decade I have constantly refined my framing style and as modern trends shift have ensured my works keep up with collector's tastes. Anti reflective art glass is included as standard, with prints framed within a tray frame and narrow spacer.
