London Original Print Fair |  Exclusive Book Signing & Meet the Artist
Saturday 25^th April | 1 – 2pm | RA Burlington House, Piccadilly | W1J OBD

We're delighted to announce that Stephen Walter will be joining us at the 30^th anniversary of the London Original Print Fair at the Royal Academy this Saturday to sign copies of his eagerly awaited publication The Island: London Mapped, ahead of its official release on May 1st. This beautifully illustrated book reconfigures Stephen's critically acclaimed sold out map The Island, transforming it into his own version of a London street atlas which enables readers to explore his unique vision of the city by flicking through its pages.

Friday also sees the opening of 'The World In A Mirror' at MAS Antwerp, which features two of Stephen's richly imaginative and detailed maps, London Subterranea and Nova Utopia.

The exhibition presents a journey through the Western interpretation of the world, through 150 unique world maps, globes and objects. Stephen is one of only three contemporary artists exhibited, and his work adds his own distinctive reflections to this fascinating history.

The Visitors' Guide to Nova Utopia

Nova Utopia is place of dreams! A large leisure island state about 200 miles across, defined by its isolation, its beauty and the immense diversity of its landscapes and resources. As a destination, Nova Utopia sits somewhere between the wonderful, the beautiful, the entertaining, the rich, the sublime and the ridiculous. Despite recent environmental and social concerns, there’s a wonderful array of places to visit, and a tour of the island provides a fascinating insight into this unique and ever-changing country.
[The Visitors' Guide To Nova Utopia]

Stephen Walter's extraordinary map of Nova Utopia revisits Thomas More’s famous fictional island state of Utopia a century after a capitalist revolution has transformed its very essence. Renowned worldwide as a luxury leisure destination, its different regions cater to a wide range of visitors, but risk becoming isolated from each other. The Visitors' Guide to Nova Utopia accompanies the piece and is the best way of getting to know the island...

'My London' - Rob Ryan & Stephen Walter

We are delighted to have teamed up with Exposure Gallery to produce this exhibition of work by Rob Ryan and Stephen Walter, showing their own unique and beautiful perspectives of our capital city.

Stephen Walter shows a series of dense and intricate maps of London's boroughs deconstructed from 'The Island' - a huge map of London which took him 2 years to complete. Topographical truth and personal insights are carefully binded together in his work. You can visit at Exposure Gallery, 22 - 23 Little Portland Street, London, W1W 8BU until March 2.
