Ronald Walker’s vibrant paintings are a journey into the surreal world of incongruent thoughts and the image patterns that bring them together.
I WORK IN A STYLE of art that I term “Suburban Primitive”. This style combines my interest in the origins and functions of art along with life in the suburbs. For me the draw of art lies not in the depiction of physical reality but rather the representation of my emotional, psychological and intellectual reactions to the environment in which I live. In general, painting for me is visual thinking. It is a way of making sense, finding connections and organizing the seemingly incongruent thoughts that bounce around within my head. Ultimately I hold the belief that all things, within our existence, are somehow tied together and my task, as an artist, is to try to find and explore these ties.
