Walker excels in capturing the peculiarities of everyday life.
He draws inspiration predominantly from his memories, which are inherently chaotic and distorted, with multiple dimensions often collapsing into a single moment.
Consequently, many of his works are set in environments that feel familiar yet subtly suggest an alternate, dystopian reality.
Some scenes linger in his mind for years before they materialise on canvas. For instance, the idea for “My Bully” emerged nine years ago but only recently found its way onto the surface.
His paintings consistently evoke a sense of surrealism—not in the traditional art historical sense but through a lens of mundane strangeness. Walker’s art conveys a shared sense of discontentment that resonates universally. He describes his own work as melancholic, even as he experiments with lighter, pastel colours in the post-pandemic era.
