Larry Walker
\n9 June-15 July 2016<\/h2>\n

Sikkema Jenkins & Co. in West Chelsea arts district of New York City hosted a solo exhibition of work by Georgia artist Larry Walker, a \u201csurvey of nearly 50 years of Mr. Walker\u2019s artistic production.\u201d Among the work on view is a piece titled Other Voices – Other Spaces: Urban Spirits, Wall Series<\/em>. This 2007, seven by four foot collage is a massive tour de force<\/em>. Above a painted brick wall, Walker recreates an urban pastiche of movie promotional posters, FBI Wanted and missing persons flyers, concert announcements, and graffiti. Walker is the father of gallery artist Kara Walker, who curated the exhibition as \u201cpart curatorial inquiry, part familial legacy.\u201d She writes, \u201cAs a daughter, I am pressed to uncover clues to my father\u2019s hidden self, as it has long been apparent to me that his work offers insight into his humanity. The drawings\u2014figurative and abstract, landscape and \u201cinnerscape\u201d\u2014are the background hum of my life from infancy on. However, as an artist, I seem to be at cross purposes, on one hand exposing Larry Walker\u2019s work to a wider public and critical inquiry, while negotiating the departures and liberties I have taken in my own work on the other.\u201d Kara, a renowned artist who explores race, gender, sexuality, violence and identity in her work, is best known for her large scale black cut-paper silhouettes.<\/p>\n
