A Georgia native, born in 1935 as the youngest of eleven children, Larry Walker traces his trajectory across the United States. Following his father’s death in 1936 and the onslaught of the Depression, his family members began to migrate to new locations in search of a better life. Walker was raised in Harlem, New York where his interest in art flourished. After graduating from the High School of Music & Art (now Fiorello H. LaGuardia School of the Arts), Walker relocated to Detroit for college, receiving both his B.S. in Art Education and M.A. in Drawing and Painting from Wayne State University.

In 1964 Walker began his long career as an educator at the University of the Pacific in Stockton, California where he was a professor and later chair of the Department of Art. In 1983 he accepted a position in Atlanta as a professor and director of the art program at Georgia State University. He retired from the University in 2000 and currently lives outside Atlanta with his wife Gwendolyn. He continues to make art in his home-studio and is represented in Atlanta by Mason Fine Art Gallery.

Walker has an extensive exhibition history. He has been the subject of over 40 solo exhibitions and has participated in over 200 group exhibitions since 1971. His work is in the collection of the High Museum in Atlanta, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Philadelphia Museum of Art, The Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia and The Studio Museum in Harlem, among others.

Larry Walker, acclaimed artist, professor emeritus, and father to fellow artist Kara Walker, was born in Franklin, Georgia in 1935, and spent most of his childhood and adolescent years in New York City. He holds a bachelors in arts education and masters in drawing and painting both from Wayne State University in Detroit and recently exhibited a two-part retrospective at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Georgia (MOCA GA) in 2018, featuring his work in two installations; “The Early Years” (works from 1961-2005) and “The Later Years” (works from 2006-2017).

With an expansive body of artwork from the past six decades, Walker explores existential truths as they would be found on the walls and doors of urban environments, indicative of his Harlem upbringing. Walker describes the conversation his work sparks as “pseudo-reality, socio-cultural, and humanistic”. While a portion of his works are rendered with charcoal on paper, Walker’s mixed media collages provide additional context to his dialogue, featuring magazine and newspaper clippings, partial promotional posters for movies and events, and other symbolic elements such as chains and shackles, earphones, and microphones. His references to pop culture and current events maintain an authentic relevance within his work. Walker envisions urban surfaces as an interaction that occurs within a shared, common experience. The variety of realities and narratives found upon the metropolitan message boards of cities around the world serve as a representation of human life, not just within our local communities, but around the world.

“From around the age of six, I had the habit of sketching from life. I became an artist, and from fifty on began producing works that won some reputation, but nothing I did before the age of seventy was worthy of attention.” -- Katsushika Hokusai, as quoted by Larry Walker. (Credit MOCA GA)
