Rob Walker

Although he is inspired by the traditional still life painting of the European mastersof the genre, particularly the Dutch, Robert has followed a more contemporary approach to his own work, creating a more informal approach to the subject.

While his paintings still feature the conventional still life elements of glass, fruit and porcelain he combines these with a mixture of more eclectic items such as antique furniture, rusting metal containers and objets d'art to create compositions with a contemporary feel.

Robert takes great pleasure in creating a simple composition and transforming it into a work of art. " The simplest object can become a thing of beauty if it is handled in the correct way , which is always the challenge"

He was a finalist in The National Open Art Competition in 2011 and 2012, the two years that he entered and has his paintings in collections all over the world.
