p:abstract
  • John Walker (* 23. November 1939 in Birmingham) ist ein englischer Maler und Druckgrafiker. John Walker studierte in Birmingham. Einige seiner Frühwerke waren vom abstrakten Expressionismus inspiriert und kombinierten oft dreidimensionale Formen mit "flacheren" Elementen. Diese Werke waren meist in Acrylfarben ausgeführt. In den frühen 1970ern fertigte John Walker eine Reihe von großformatigen Tafelbildern, die Blackboard Pieces in Tafelkreide sowie die Juggernaut (Fernfahrer)-Werke, in welchen er Pigmentfarben verwendete. Ab den späten 1970ern spielt sein Werk auf frühere Maler wie Francisco de Goya, Édouard Manet und Henri Matisse an, entweder durch Zitieren des Bildmotivs oder durch Verwendung einer bestimmten Maltechnik. In dieser Zeit begann er häufiger auch Ölfarben einzusetzen. Nachdem er bereits einige Zeit in Australien verbracht hatte, wurde John Walker zum Dekan der School of Art am Victoria College of the Arts in Melbourne berufen. Hier entstand seine Oceania Serie in welche er Elemente der eingeborenen ozeanischen Kunst einbrachte. Zurzeit arbeitet John Walker als Professor für Malerei an der Abteilung für visuelle Kunst der Kunstschule an der Boston University in Boston, MA. John Walker war 1985 für den Turner Prize nominiert." (de)
  • John Walker (born 1939) is an English painter and printmaker. Walker studied in Birmingham. Some of his early work was inspired by abstract expressionism and post-painterly abstraction, and often combined apparently three-dimensional shapes with "flatter" elements. These pieces are usually rendered in acrylic paint. Around the early 1970s, Walker made a series of large Blackboard Pieces using chalk and the Juggernaut works which also use dry pigment. From the late 1970s his work makes allusions to earlier painters, such as Francisco Goya, Edouard Manet and Henri Matisse, either through the quoting of a pictorial motif, or the use of a particular technique. From around this time he began to use oil paint more. His paintings of the 1970s are also notable for what has come to be termed canvas collage — the application of glued-on, separately painted patches of canvas to the main canvas (see the external link below for an example and image). After spending some time in Australia, Walker got a job at the Victoria College of the Arts in Melbourne. He produced the Oceania series around this time which incorporates elements of native Oceanic art. Walker is currently the head of the graduate painting program at Boston University. Walker was nominated for the Turner Prize in 1985. (en)
