Mr Walker......Touche'

So this past wednesdsy, March 2nd, i saw the garth walker show at my school. Artist Garth Walker had a talk, and then his art was opened at the Dr. M. T. Geoffrey Yeh art gallery. From South Africa, garth walkers art evokes much of his homeland in both spirit and design.

When I looked at his art, it is very busy and intuitive with a large focus on identity. He knows his homeland and he wants to show how he is connected to it, and does so in many art forms (product design, illustration, magazine layouts, photography, etc. etc.)

he explores his identity through all of his designs: "what makes him South Africa" and he strives to show that through imagery.
