We are before another photorealistic painter that if they did not tell us that it is a painting, surely we would begin to accept the danger of going with a kayak surrounded by several killer whales in waters where it seems that the protagonist of the "photograph" was alone in the face of danger.
Christopher Walker is the guilty painter of this magnificent pictorial work that he usually interprets the magnificence of the powers of nature in all its essence putting the human dressed in a simple boat or a kayak in this case that is our turn.
A painting with high quality acrylic which demonstrates another of Walker's predilections and is none other than Canada. It is in his repertoire of paintings where we find a central axis to this country in which most of its territory nature shows its wildest side.
His style comes from other artists such as Alex Colville and puts us in front of paintings that perfectly express the inhospitable environment of such places so evocative and so explosive in the very strength of the earth. The sea as another of the common denominators and the solemn solitude of some of the protagonists of most of his works.
If we go through other works of yours, loneliness is something palpable but from people with strong values, great decision and who take their time to read as a source to continue breathing day to day wherever.
In «Acceptance» we find the killer whales as the element of danger to demonstrate the firmness again of that person who paddles with determination. Killer whales that have been proven not to attack humans, although we all know how dangerous they are and how much respect they should be for this very reason. A work that shows the forces of nature in their entirety.
On the other side, Grant Haffner's acrylic.
