IF you've been wandering the streets of Salisbury recently, you might have spotted this man.

Meet Chris Walker, the 76-year-old artist who has been capturing the hustle and bustle of our city in his unique art-style.

Chris is a man with an interesting past.

Born in Madras, India, in January 1947, he has lived in numerous countries, participating in what he describes as a "backwards living" lifestyle, and now resides in Salisbury.

"I'm a fanatic Green", Chris told the Journal, "I've never owned or driven a car in my life and I've always liked to keep things simple.Salisbury Journal: Drawing of the High Street GatewayDrawing of the High Street Gateway (Image: Chris Walker)

"I love horses and nature - I've had all sorts of jobs - I worked in stables and as a stud hand in many places, I've worked on organic farms, built cabins and decorated pottery for a living.

"I'm not a fan of tech, I own the cheapest, basic phone because you have to have one in this day and age."

After spending his early years in Calcutta, Chris attended a boarding school in County Meath, Northern Ireland, and went on to study at an art school in Farnham, Hampshire, in the 1970s.

It was his love of horses that drove his pursuit of art.

"I've always been fascinated by horses and the farming lifestyle.

"They are my favourite things to draw.

"In terms of art, I am very much an anti-modernist - I worship Rembrandt."

Since moving to Salisbury to live with his sister, Chris has tested his artistic skills - challenging himself to capture the beauty of the city onto paper.

"There is so much beauty in Salisbury, and I love drawing the busy streets.

"It's challenging drawing the narrow pavements, I had to avoid bumping into people near the High Street gateway, but it was worth it because I'm happy with how they turned out."Salisbury Journal: Drawing of the Poultry CrossDrawing of the Poultry Cross (Image: Chris Walker)

Chris' latest work includes various scenes throughout the city, including the High Street Gate and the Poultry Cross, as well as places slightly further afield like Stonehenge.

His previous work includes various horses, trains, scenes in India and life drawings.
