Steve Walker | 1961-2012

Canadian born artist Steve Walker
passed away in early January from a heart attack
near his home in Costa Rica.

“I have always been inclined to let my work speak for itself,
believing that should I need to explain it, I have perhaps failed.

I hope that in its’ silence, the body of my work has given a voice to my life,
the lives of others, and in doing so, the dignity of all people.”

Steve Walker
Toronto, 2000

STEVE WALKER, "Both Sides Now", 2008, Acrylic on canvas, 48" x 36"

Steve made prodigious contributions to male Art.

“Love, Light, Loss, Life.
Touching, Watching, Thinking.
Yearning, Reflecting, Fearing.
I paint about life, mine and yours.
My sexual orientation is unapologetically,
Simple part of that.”

Steve Walker
Toronto, 2004

He will be missed and leaves us all saddened.
