Hamish Fulton was born in 1946 in London, England. From 1966 to 1968, he studied at St. Martin's School of Art, London and the following year at the Royal College of Art, London.[1] The conceptual artist and photographer primarily concentrated his work on the experiences in individual walks that he took.
The emotional and physical recollections of his walks, lasting anywhere from one day to many weeks, are displayed as photographs combined with descriptive captions that evoke unique feelings within each viewer. His books expound on these matters.[2][3][4] For the last twenty years, Fulton has shifted his focus on painting exhibition walls. His wall installation A 21 day coast to coast walking journey. Japan 1996 at the John Weber Gallery ,NY incorporates the concrete poetry format and his earlier work A Seven day walk in the mountains Switzerland early summer 1984 was the inspiration for the 'fulton' Visual poetry form.[5] , Hamish Fulton is represented in London by Maureen Paley.
