Aleksander Pilar, a masterful painter specialising in watercolour technique, represents a more avant-garde style of depiction here – ships take on a regular geometric shape, and masts help to create an in-picture rhythm. Are these merchant ships? Focusing on water reflections is wonderfully suited to watercolour technique as a water-based art technique. Work instills order and trust.
