Ben Walker - My art over the past year has gone from painting Wild Animals and Classic Cars by use of a palette knife to Action Paintings (Drip Style Painting). My Classic Car Series was featured on HGTV's "Save My Bath" (Funky 50's Facilities).

I will not say that I have completely abandoned the traditional approach to painting, but I do not see myself using traditional methods in the near future. The recent paintings from my "LOVE SEX DEATH" series is done in almost a "Minimalist Action Painting" style - if there is such a thing. I took a less is more approach and my goal was to get human traits, emotion and to tell a story from very few drips of paint.

In this example, "The Stripper", I have created what appears to be an "exotic" dancer by use of a medium sized stiff brush, canvas paper and acrylic paint. I tossed the paint onto the canvas in a controlled, but very free manner.
