"I have travelled in and out of India most of my life," he said.
The vibrant colours in his paintings capture the spirit, energy and movement he sees in the land.
The sculptured pieces have been formed from the hard labour and technique that shaped their fluid forms.
Mr Horsley headed overseas after studies at the Christchurch Ilam School of Art. He returned briefly in the '60s to coordinate the successful Serenity Arts Festival before further travels to South-East Asia and India.
In 1976 he returned to London and graduated with a Master's Degree in Sculpture from the Royal College of Art in 1986.
His work is found throughout the UK, Northern Europe, the Middle East and more recently India, Vietnam and Thailand, where he teaches art and creative practice at Walailak University.
