Fascinated by the natural world, Walker’s current body of work extends his exploration into the extraordinary
world of plants, through the mediums of photography and collage.
Walker continues to depict the natural world in bold and resolute ways, influenced by Matisse cutouts and
Pop Artist Eduardo Paolozzi, he uses striking colours to tease the viewer, inviting them in and keeping them
at bay.
His works engage with themes of escapism and paradise, celebrating nature’s beauty whilst at the same
time Walker aims to remind the viewer of our disconnect to nature, leading us to exploit and destroy it.
Plants dominate every terrestrial environment, making up ninety-nine percent of the biomass on earth.
By comparison, humans and all other animals are, in the words of one plant neurobiologist, “just traces”.

“My aim through this series of images is to celebrate the beauty of plants and while doing so, remind us, of
the part they play in our existence” - Marco Walker.
