Walton Ford




Blending depictions of natural history with political commentary, Walton Ford’s meticulous watercolors satirize the history of colonialism and political oppression in the social landscape of today. Each painting is as much a tutorial in flora and fauna as it is as a scathing indictment of the wrongs committed by nineteenth-century industrialists and the foibles of contemporary consumers.
