Walton Ford: Pancha Tantra - Reviews

Page [1] [2] [3]
“Ford’s paintings blur the line between animals and humans as they open the doors to a world of fantasy, dreams, and nightmares.”
Florida International Magazine, Miami
United States
“American artist Walton Ford is perhaps best described as Audubon on acid. The Naturalist-gone-nuclear’s intricate, dazzling, and sometimes disturbing watercolors might be mistaken at first glance as antiques―until you notice some the animals are engaged in sex acts, cannibalism, or other supposed ‘unnatural’ behavior. Ford’s outsized talent gets a suitable forum in an opulent, signed, limited-edition volume, Walton Ford: Pancha Tantra.”

"Las acuarelas de Walton Ford reunidas en el regalo perfecto."

“Um norteamericano de 48 anos que usa um traço bem conservdor para retratar situaçoes perversas e violentas com animais. Uma ediçao de luxo. Pancha Tantra é um livro indiano de fabulas (dos seculos III a V antes de Cristo) e foi o nome escolhido para esta ediçao de TASCHEN, limitada a 1500 copias, numeradas e assinadas pelo autor.”

"Le Pancha Tantra, recueil de contes indiens animaliers, date du IVe siècle avant J.-C. Celui de Walton Ford, artiste américain né en 1960, est un singulier bestiaire intemporel. Ses aquarelles peuplées de buffles, de lions, de serpents et d’oiseaux de toutes sortent lancent au contemporain des clins d’œil inquiétants. Sous une apparence candide, proche de celles des peintures coloniales du XIXe siècle, ces contes visuels transportent le spectateur dans un monde de rêve ou de cauchemar. Le style en est rassurant, le contenu dérangeant. Ce «bestiaire psychanalytique», agrémenté de seize reproductions dépliables, offre pour la première fois une exploration en profondeur de l’œuvre de Walton Ford. Un ouvrage intriguant, merveilleux et…indispensable."

"Even more powerful, from TASCHEN books comes natural selection in all its savage beauty in the form of watercolors of beasts and birds painted by Walton Ford. This luxury edition is offered in two forms one of which will oblige you to break your piggy bank (The Collector”s Edition), or the other, your own piggy bank plus those of every member of your family (The Art Edition). Take your pick. Personally, I know which one I would go to."
