Canadian Art online review

Richard Rhodes wrote a very incisive review of the 'Other Worlds' show at the McLaughlin. I'm really impressed, its a great take on the work, have a look here. Richard has a incredibly deep understanding of what is essential to the art experience. He is an absolute treasure in the Canadian art world.

"the images are fixed and formal and sign-like, akin to the hieroglyphs of an Egyptian tomb; in Walker’s case, a planetary tomb seems more relevant. He has made a work where time comes measured in eons and contemporary painting is best seen in the light of cave painting."
