This is a sketch or preparatory print by James Faure Walker.
James Faure Walker (born 1948, London) is a London based researcher, artist and writer who combines drawing, painting and photography with digital technologies. He has been combining computer graphics with painting since 1988, working with both physical and digital paint. Photography is an important element of Faure Walker's practice and he uses his digital camera in a snapshot photography style for the means of collecting the 'everyday' he encounters. These photographic elements within a painting give a glimpse of the 'real world' in contrast to the otherwise abstract geometric patterns.
From the mid-seventies he has engaged in art-criticism and in 1976 he co-founded the journal Artscribe, which he edited up until 1983. He is the author of 'Painting the Digital River: how an artist learned to love the computer', published by Prentice Hall in 2006.
