Walton Ford

Walton Ford ( born 1960 in Larchmont, NY) is an American painter whose motives are mainly animals.

Life and education

Ford studied at the Rhode Iceland School of Design in Providence, Rhode Iceland, where he graduated in 1982 with a BFA. After ten years in New York City, he lives and works today (2011) in Great Barrington in Berkshire County in Massachusetts.

Painting

Ford's pictures are created in watercolor technique, supplemented with gouache, ink and pencil. As submission of its continuous large-scale works that are similar at first glance the animal pictures of John James Audubon, serve bites of the 17th century. On closer inspection, however, one discovers some bizarre, comical, sometimes brutal details that alienate the animal to its environment, as well as numerous allusions to the history of nature exploration.
