James Faure Walker studied painting at St. Martin's School of Art and aesthetics at the Royal College of Art, and began exhibiting his work more than thirty years ago. In the 1980s, he was among an early wave of painters who took to using computers in their studios. His recent credits include solo shows in Berlin and London, seven appearances in the ACM SIGGRAPH Art Gallery, and works in the John Moores Painting Competition, the New York Digital Salon, the DAM Gallery Berlin, and the Bloomberg Space "1979" Exhibition. A founder and longtime editor of Artscribe, Faure Walker's writings on art have also been published in Studio International, Modern Painters, Computer Generated Imaging, Wired, and Art Review, as well as in catalogues for the Tate, the Barbican, and SIGGRAPH. In 1998, he won the Golden Plotter prize at Computerkunst in Germany, and in 2002 he was awarded a Senior Research Fellowship by the Arts and Humanities Research Council in the U.K. He is currently a research fellow at the University of the Arts, Camberwell, London.
