“One thing has remained constant: his delight in the elemental quality of paint. He’s like a kid with finger paints, or making mud pies. He fills his canvases with smears, dollops, and grit. His passion can’t be missed.” Cate McQuaid, The Boston Globe
The impact of the work of British-born, and internationally recognised abstract artist, John Walker has resonated for over 50 years. His unique and imaginative painterly language has influenced generations of artists. Walker represented England at the 1972 Venice Biennale, won the 1976 John Moores Painting Prize, had extensive survey shows at both the Tate and Hayward galleries and was nominated for the Turner Prize in 1985. His work is represented in collections across the world.
