Self-knowledge is at the heart of being a modern artist. Paint the places that you know instinctively and ignore nothing that might deepen your knowledge and understanding of those places. John R Walker

Walker’s emergence as a force in contemporary landscape painting is celebrated by the exhibition John R.Walker: Journey Through Landscape at the S.H. Ervin Gallery – a survey of nine years’ work that shows the artist growing more ambitious in scale and handling as his relationship with a particular environment becomes more intimate. John McDonald SMH 7 June 2008
