{"id":16000851,"count":197,"description":"Gary Walton is a collectable British artist who was born in Worcester in 1962. The artist excelled in creative classes through his school years before going on to work in graphic design. Here he continued to develop his keen technical and artistic abilities whilst painting part-time. Gary\u2019s unique style gradually developed into the instantly recognisable works of today.\r\n\r\nInfluenced by the surrealist paintings of Salvador Dali, Walton\u2019s paintings depict ethereal scenes, blurring the line between dream and reality. Many of his works in fact start life as dreams; images seen in his sleep are translated onto canvas with astonishing clarity. Of his inspirations, Gary Walton states \u201cI looked deep inside myself to create my individual style of art. It took time to adapt my passion for surrealism to bring my work to life until my creation was born\u201d.\r\n\r\nDespite having resided inland over recent years,\u00a0Gary still has a strong\u00a0affection for the coast. This is no more evident than in his artwork, with boats, beach huts and lighthouses\u00a0providing a staple\u00a0recurring motif. Whimsical buildings inhabit the rolling hills of his landscapes, providing both the audience and artist with a means to escape to his fantastical locations.\r\n\r\nSince becoming a full- time artist\u00a0Walton\u2019s\u00a0style has continued to develop, with an ever- growing\u00a0body of\u00a0art\u00a0collectors\u00a0seeking his next ethereal painting.\r\n\r\nForest Gallery held his first solo exhibition, 'Dreaming' in 2023 which was a sell-out success.
