Jason Walker graduated from Falmouth College
of Art, Cornwall in 1992.
His work has been selected for various
national exhibitions including the Hunting Art Prizes Exhibition
at the Royal College of Art in February, The Discerning
Eye Exhibition and the BP Portrait Award where he received
wide critical acclaim for his piece titled ‘Self Portrait
- Postman’, which has recently been exhibited at Aberdeen
Art Gallery.
Following a traditional approach to painting,
Jason Walker formulates his ideas with initial sketchbook
drawings; he then makes a series of compositional sketches
direct from the model or the subject set up in the studio.
Having drawn straight onto the canvas he develops the image
through under painting before commencing the next stage
of wet on wet.
Jason will be exhibiting further works
with the Lemon Street Gallery in Truro in September. |
