SUPERCILIOUS SILLINESS: MAN’S COEXISTENCE WITH THE NATURAL WORLD
Alex Walton
The Cube
September 19 to November 1, 2009
Alex Walton creates an imaginative world to explore relationships between humans and their natural surroundings. These sometimes precarious and one-sided relationships have comedic results as humans try to tame, organize and enslave flora and fauna alike. Kangaroo waiters and whale rodeos are examples of Walton’s unique creations. Children will enjoy his illustrations and adults will appreciate the political commentary.
Walton draws inspiration from his formal education in commercial art, fine art and natural resource science. He grew up and has spent most of his life in Kamloops. His paintings are in collections in Canada, the United States and Europe.
Works in The Cube are available for purchase through The Gallery Store.
