Four Billion Years Later at Pixel Ink Gallery

Fast forward Four Billion Years Later where Wellington illustrative artist Rachel Walker presents an exhibition of new paintings exploring the process of evolution.

The exhibition opens on Friday the 25th of March at Cuba Street's Pixel Ink Gallery.

Walker is visually exploring the 4 billion year long process of evolution upon our fair planet.

“From bacteria through algae and ocean life, to exotic bird and plant life, and our possibly strange future,” she explains.

Walker's latest works are influenced by Sir David Attenborough and Richard Dawkins.

“And a sense of wonder at the glorious diversity, strange history, and the future demise of the creatures on Earth,” adds Walker.

The colourful and illustrative paintings in this exhibition are created with ink, watercolour and a hint of spraypaint.

Four Billion Years Later is Walker's second solo show at Pixel Ink Gallery following on from her successful Jellyfish Crossroads exhibition in 2010.

Gallery director, Rosalind Clark said that Walker's artworks provide a visual treat through her signature contemporary illustrative style and unique take on life and nature.

The exhibition Four Billion Years Later runs from the 25h of March – 24th of April at Pixel Ink Gallery, 219 Cuba Street, Wellington.
