The Birmingham-born John Walker has been recognized as one of Britain’s leading abstract painters since the 1960s. Much of his career has been spent in the United States, including a visiting professorship at Yale in 1989 and over twenty years teaching (1993–present) at Boston University. Walker became known for reinvigorating cubist collage, here, producing a collage effect with the heavily outlined shapes layered on top of one another. 'Collage,' Walker wrote, 'enables me to feel the structure while I’m doing the painting,' providing a set of prescribed limitations that allowed the artist to 'move in the painting.' This work was produced in the same year that Walker won first prize at the John Moores biennial exhibition at the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool.
