Thornton Walker is an artist who is a teller of stories without a narrative. He is a staunchly figurative artist, but one who paints highly abstracted images. He is also a philosopher who meditates on the nature of the whole world, but does this by examining in exceptional detail a small fragment in a painting, contemplating a haiku or rediscovering part of an old photograph which has been stripped of its original context.

His preparedness to share with his audience the source material on which he draws for his art-making does little to elucidate meaning, as this privileged insider knowledge does little to assist the viewer with a deeper understanding of his work or in the search for purpose for his art.
