Color-Fields (2005-2012)
Inspired by the 1960s, when, following the lead of Color Field painters like Morris Louis and Frank Stella, Robert Walker was producing geometric paintings, in recent years he has been photographing flowers with a comparable feeling for abstraction. But don’t be fooled, he warns, this is not an attempt to give photography the illusion of painting. It is an attempt to break free of photography’s objective and recording function, to be able to take a fresh look at an often clichéd subject.
