Suburban Primitive

Ronald C. Walker

Mediums - gouache, graphite, acrylic

Artist's Statement -My work may be viewed as a metaphorical road map of my life. I am influenced by the Dadaist and Symbolist art movements. My art is an attempt to reflect the humor, irony, and fluidity of which I encounter through life.
