About Us

The Gallery of Dynamic Realism is the business entity representing Abbey Walmsley’s artworks and a subsidiary of Walmsley Fine Art Advisory. The Gallery services international private and corporate collectors, providing exquisite museum quality original & limited edition prints to its patrons.

The business was established in 2000 in England and since the studio has been based in Canada, Ireland, Austria and now we have opened a gallery space based in Goldau, Canton Schwyz, Switzerland close to the business centres of Zug, Zurich & Luzern.

In the early years Abbey Walmsley was ‘regarded as one of the youngest and best realist painters in the world.’ (ref: Harrods, Art of Living 2003, The Halcyon Gallery, London)

In an era of Social Media and AI advances; where anyone can get an audience for any titillating visual expression; traditional art forms at first appear to become more obsolete. However; the creation of traditional art forms that last hundreds of years, that harbours the human spirit will again become more desired, the inauthentic expressions of computer generated objects tiresome.

The dedicated approach Abbey Walmsley has given the development of her techniques throughout the years has led her to explore beyond the conventional borders of the realist art genre. This new territory is ‘Dynamic Realism’.

The aim of ‘Dynamic Realism’ is to compel the audience to develop a more acute sense of their world and to identify and understand that it is possible to produce artworks that are more tangible. This is an art that actively engages viewers in a moment of raw expression. It is proof that despite what some leading contemporary artists may say, painting is definitely NOT dead, instead there is a world of possibly waiting to be explored.

The Gallery of Dynamic Realism is independently positioned in the market place to enable collectors to access original art with an extraordinary level of craftsmanship that has a unique and timeless quality.

We look forward to welcoming you to the gallery.

Genuine artists produce because it is a part of a deeply human need to examine their world through pigment and form, to conjuror something from nothing.

Abbey Walmsley

Dynamic Realism is a genre of art with a solid core of artworks that represent its key attributes that are produced slowly, challengingly without commercial pressure; with the desire to share with those who see the value of contemplation and creativity.

Abbey Wamsley

Creating artworks is for the act of what it teaches you; only this is a worthy and non-destructive exercise for the soul.

Abbey Walmsley

It is an art form protected by the dead, and all they have taught me to avoid; the devastation of the mind experienced by many artists in this contemporary age.
