This publication has been produced to accompany an exhibition
staged by Ingleby Gallery, Edinburgh, for the 2021 Edinburgh Art
Festival. The exhibition is the first devoted to Frank Walter's
'spools' - the small circular paintings which, in their consistency
of scale and form, provide a lens through which to witness the
workings of Walter's inner eye. Walter's work was unknown during
his lifetime, but in the decade since his death he has emerged as
one of the most distinctive and intriguing Caribbean voices of the
last fifty years. Painted with a rare directness and immediacy on
whatever material came most readily to hand, his works describe a
visionary artist rooted in the landscape of Antigua, the island of
his birth. The publication, co-published by Ingleby, Edinburgh, and
Anomie, London, features contributions by Barbara Paca, Professor
Paget Henry, Kenneth M. Milton and Mary-Elisabeth Moore. Edited and
produced by Ingleby, the publication has been designed by Joanna
Deans / Identity and printed by Graphius, Ghent. Frank Walter
(1926-2009) was born Francis Archibald Wentworth Walter on Horsford
Hill, Antigua. He spent much of the 1950s travelling in Scotland,
England and West Germany. While in Europe, Walter pursued various
creative activities including drawing, painting and creative
writing. Walter returned to the Caribbean in 1961, where he began a
prolific output of painting, drawing, writing, sculptural work,
photography and sound art. Walter's work was first exhibited
alongside paintings by Alfred Wallis and Forrest Bess in the
exhibition 'Songs of Innocence and Experience' at Ingleby Gallery
in Spring 2013. A solo exhibition of his work was presented by The
Douglas Hyde Gallery, Trinity College, Dublin, in summer 2013 and
later that year, Ingleby Gallery presented a solo display of
Walter's paintings at Art Basel Miami Beach. A major solo
exhibition followed at Ingleby Gallery in spring 2015. In 2017,
Frank Walter represented Antigua and Barbuda at the Venice Biennale
in the show 'Frank Walter: The Last Universal Man 1926-2009'. A
solo presentation of Walter's work also took place at Harewood
House, Leeds, UK, in the summer of 2017. A major retrospective of
the artist's work was displayed at both MMK Museum of Modern Art
Frankfurt in 2020 and at David Zwirner, London, in the spring of
2021.
