John R Walker presents Forest Song, a solo exhibition at Goulburn Regional Art Gallery, on view from 21 November 2025 to 31 January 2026.

The exhibition features immersive large-scale portraits of trees, expressive drawings and fresh, immediate monotypes that capture the movement of light and fleeting moments in time. Renowned for his sustained engagement with the Australian landscape, Walker brings his distinctive observational approach to a body of work that explores the character, presence and vitality of the natural world.

Through painting, drawing and printmaking, Forest Song reflects Walker's mastery as a draughtsman and his ongoing investigation of landscape as both lived experience and artistic subject. The exhibition offers insight into one of Australia's most respected contemporary landscape painters.
