Allistair Walter (*1994, Berlin) is a visual artist with a strong focus on painting. However, his artistic practice spans various other techniques as well such as photography and sculptural work. His work centers around the processes of memory and perception that shape the understanding of subjectivity, subjective reality and our place within the world.
Based on his personal photographic archive, he employs a back-and-forth of digital and analog manipulations, drawing from his background in classical painting. Through the layering and preservation of painted and printed elements through epoxy resin, he challenges the relationship between surface, content, and form. Walter’s process constantly deconstructs scenes of his personal life, resulting in a compilation of fragmented impressions, blurring the boundaries between figurative and abstract visual representation. This deliberate distortion creates a nuanced tension between intimate and dissociative states.
