“I’m interested in the ways in which mark-making can convey rhythm and movement.” 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.
As a multidisciplinary artist and DJ, his practice spans ballet, video, sound, drawing, and painting. Walker’s exploration of the dynamics of body movement and its interplay with diverse artistic mediums is evident in his abstract paintings. Using textured brushstrokes, he visually translates sound and movement into rhythmic and colorful visuals on canvas.
