"Fermeture Exceptionnelle" is a sign posted on French shops when the proprietor has run out of retailing drive, or gone fishing. As this work symbolises the actual withdrawal of UK from the European Union scheduled for 29 March 2019, this painting should possibly be titled "La Derniere Demarche" seen at the very end of the sales. But then the shop would have to be open and clearly this one is not. A once noble panelled door was painted, probably for the last coronation, with a Union Jack. This is now sad and tired. The red has aged to brown, the blue to grey, Britain has shut up shop. Redolent of Jasper Johns' famous "White Flag" (MOMA), I toyed with painting "Gray Flag" but I have decided that that shall be another work of the Chris Walker Armageddon Period, along with "Black Day" and "Stand by to Repel Bo(a)rders". Please note that I have chosen to make this image unavailable to under 18 year-olds. They certainly could not have voted 2 years ago and will not need extraneous reminders rubbing salt into their wounds. They will surely experience enough visitations of "the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation. Exodus 34:7. This work is offered as a light-hearted poke at the folly of allowing universal suffrage to those past caring, or caring for. As there was no suitable category in the Artfinder short list of subjects I have chosen to classify it as Nudes and Erotic, because that's where I'll find my target appreciative audience. Painted with love, care and whimsy in oils, it will be varnished to protect the Union Jack from fading further for at least a couple of generations."Fermeture Exceptionnelle" is a sign posted on French shops when the proprietor has run out of retailing drive, or gone fishing.

As with the subject matter, the painting has been dickered a bit over time, but no substantial changes.

France
I am a full-time artist, living in the south of France.I paint what I like, but I hope others like them enough also to buy them. I enjoy undertaking commissions and competitions as these challenge me to focus on someone else's perspective. Shape, form, colour and composition all interest me. I paint in numerous styles, with a freedom and a humour that is my watermark. Many of my works are landscape and abstract paintings in oils and acrylic, but my collection of people and surreal still show that exuberance of colour, composition and subject. I am inspired by nature, man-made forms and the humdrum, and I like my art to hint at a story or conundrum. My paintings are distributes around the world. Only about half of my current collection is in this gallery, please get in touch with me, or visit my web-site, to see more works for sale or sold. I welcome personal visits from collectors and I am also keen to find permanent gallery locations in North America, Europe mainland and Britain for my paintings.
