- Description
- Many viewers recoil in horror at the brutality of nature but, for American artist Walton Ford, these cruel twists of fate are the impetus for creating monumental paintings. His depictions of nature in flux touch on the notion of survival of the fittest, but are also focused on the intervention and impact of man on animal environments. His works are powerful, curious, thought provoking and beautifully executed. For Ford, it is this foundation in history and attention to execution that is at the centre of his work.
