Collection Information

We acquired a collection of works on paper by well listed British artist, Richard Ian Bentham Walker, direct from the artist's estate. The artworks have a wonderfully playful quality where Walker has applied the paint with large, gestural brushstrokes. The collection includes watercolour landscapes, portraits and still lifes including On The Isle Of Herm and the Channel Islands. Many of the artworks have been signed by the artist.
