“Ron Holland’s 2025 creation of watercolors dynamically captures the interaction between natural forces of wind, currents, waves and sailing vessels. His seemingly simple yet masterful work allows land-bound viewers to experience the primal sensations known only to experienced sailors, conveying nature’s elemental power and grandeur.
Sailing connoisseurs recognize Holland’s uniqueness: while many good boats exist, there is only one Ron Holland. What sets him apart is that he is a great artist, comparable to Michelangelo or Bernini—creating functional engineering marvels through aesthetic visualization.
This special exhibition presents Ron Holland for who he truly is: a great artist whose art serves as the prime vehicle for his naval architecture genius.” – Curator & Master Artist, Alexey Steele
