Jake Walker
Overview
“I’m interested in the ways in which mark-making can convey rhythm and movement.” - Jake Walker
Jake Walker’s multifaceted practice encompasses painting, drawing, video, dance, and sound. With a particular fascination for diagrams and scores, Walker's visual language is informed by a desire to convey rhythm and movement within mark-making. His drawings often serve as a launchpad for the creation of dance and sound projects, including his collaborative album, 'Wristband Loops' and his drawing/dance workshop hosted at Eye To Pencil studios. In addition to exhibiting his works in traditional gallery settings, Jake frequently takes his art beyond these confines - his video pieces find a dynamic home in nightclubs and raves.
