Nocturnes (Early Evening, Late Evening, Twilight, Midnight)
Caroline Walker's "Nocturnes" is a suite of four colored lithographs from 2023 that captures the progressive dimming of light across different evening hours, from early dusk through midnight. Published by the renowned Enitharmon Editions in London, each print is signed and numbered from an edition of 35, presented as full sheet impressions on wove paper measuring approximately 53 by 43 centimeters. The work demonstrates Walker's characteristic interest in atmospheric effects and temporal progression through the medium of lithography, a technique that allows for rich chromatic layering and tonal subtlety.

Celia Paul
British · b. 1959
Paul is a British figurative artist whose quiet, introspective depictions of figures in domestic and interior settings, rendered with a sensitivity to fading and subdued light, share the intimate nocturnal atmosphere central to Walker's Nocturnes series.
Lynette Yiadom-Boakye
British · b. 1977
Yiadom-Boakye paints figurative scenes suffused with dark, moody backgrounds and a deeply contemplative atmosphere, echoing Walker's exploration of nocturnal light, intimate human presence, and the quiet psychological charge of interior moments.
