Alex Walton

Alex Walton or sometimes known as SkipRat
D.O.B – 30/06/1977
At school, the only class I really paid any attention in was art. I
simply wasn't interested in anything else and I think my obsession and
fascination with the media, advertising, signage, Logos and Pop Art
started there. Over the years I have continued to absorb a variety of
cultural and visual influences, exploring and observing the urban Sub
Cultures that I have researched and experienced.
From travelling and living in other countries I have explored
different languages and religions which often finds itself into my
work. I don’t restrict myself to any one subject and rarely set an
agenda for how a piece may look once complete.
I use and experiment with a wide variety of materials but tend to use
a mixture of household paints, emulsion, gloss, spray paint, varnishes
and stains often on reclaimed wooden panels, stretched canvas and
glass.
My intention is to create work that has a sense of age and decay as if
extracted from a particular place or time and framed/displayed for its
own beauty.
The initial back ground paintings never really begin planned, but tend
to take on an organic spontaneous journey. Letting the brush marks
take their own path on the canvas or wood.
Paint is applied then left to dry, layered again with further strokes
then scraped back or sanded down, before starting the process again
and again. This allows different forms to emerge to the surface and
begin to dictate some direction. Often this is done with No real focus
on the end work.
Hand drawn and cut stencils have become more prevalent in recent
years, allowing myself to work on a larger scale with a desire to push
this further on a far grander scale with many future projects in mind.
