The works on view portray local horizons in Antigua and Barbuda, his native country, and spaces imagined by the artist. Thesesmall-scale paintings present a surprisingly expansive vision and elaborate compositional breadth. An acute observer of thenatural world, Walter painted with what was at hand. His choice of small dimensions allowed him to work on his lap, on a deskor in the palm of his hand, as if taking notes. His landscapes, painted on the backs of photographs, reveal images of peopleand Antiguan hotels, making up a material register of Frank Walter’s memories.

The show is accompanied by an essay by Barbara Paca, curator and researcher responsible for Walter’s archive, catalog andestate, and a critical text by Kleber Amâncio, professor and historian.
