TRAVIS WALKER
Altamira Fine Art Jackson is pleased to present a solo show for Jackson Hole artist Travis Walker. For the last 10 years Travis Walker has made landscape paintings about Jackson Hole, a place that never ceases to inspire him to pick up his brushes. He works on location, capturing the essence of the seemingly mundane scenes around town: a morning on the Elk Refuge, a decaying house with a fence made of skis, a vintage trailer park. His work is influenced by the work of American regionalists Edward Hopper and Grant Wood, Japanese printmaking, and German Expressionism. Travis Walker was born in 1976 in Tokyo, Japan, and earned his BFA in Painting and Printmaking in 2000 from Virginia Commonwealth University. He is the founder and director of Teton Artlab, a nonprofit arts organization that provides studio space for artists. Recent group exhibitions include the 2012 Western Visions Show and Sale and the 2013 and 2012 Takin’ It to the Streets Art Fair. Solo exhibitions include “American Dreams” in 2012 at Cowboy Coffee and “Views of Jackson” in 2009 at Teton Artlab. Walker was a 2013 panelist for the National Endowment for the Art’ Artists Communities Grant. He was a 2013 Artist in Residence at the National Museum of Wildlife Art and in 2012, he won the “Rising Star Award” from the Cultural Council of Jackson Hole. Travis will be giving an Artist Talk in the gallery on October 15 at 6pm during the show reception from 5-8 pm. Free and open to the public. Pre-sales available. Call 307.739.4700
