Walton Ford. Pancha Tantra - Reseñas (3)
| “In a retro style with a modern edge, Walton Ford’s Pancha Tantra presents a cheeky take on the birds and the bees and the humans who torment them.”— Culture & Travel, New York, Estados Unidos |
| “A series of crossbreeds between John James Audubon and Henri Rousseau, Walton Ford’s life-size watercolors are now available in a less intimidating form: a limited-edition, gold-embossed book. Walton Ford: Pancha Tantra showcases a menagerie of his bestial tableaus, like primates plundering a dinner party or the elephant bird of Madagascar, now extinct, as it struggles to escape a noose.”— New York Times T Magazine, New York, Estados Unidos |
| ”Las acuarelas de Walton Ford, poderosas magnéticas, realizadas en tamaño natural y siguiendo fórmulas tradicionales, recogen el testigo de los antiguos cuenta cuentos y añaden una dosis de intriga y crítica.”— Vanidad, Madrid, España |
| “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, Estados Unidos |
| "Walton Fords Tiermalerei ist ... hervorragend ... Seine Tiere zeichnet er nicht nach dem Leben, sondern nach historischen Vorlagen ... Aber es sind Bilder von Szenen, die bisher ohne Bild geblieben waren. Sie erzählen eine Geschichte, von der wir erst langsam zu verstehen beginnen, dass nicht die Natur, sondern wir sie verfasst haben."— Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Frankfurt am Main, Alemania |
| "Meanwhile Mixed Media pines for another TASCHEN book, namely a US $7,000 intaglio print edition of Walton Ford's Pancha Tantra (oh, whoops, they're sold out). Well, a boy can dream."— NationalPost.com, Toronto, Canadá |
| “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.”— BlackBook, New York, Estados Unidos |
| "Las acuarelas de Walton Ford reunidas en el regalo perfecto."— Vogue, España |
| “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.”— Sabado, Lisbon, Portugal |
| "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."— Les Echos Série Limitée, Paris, Francia |
