J Michael Walker is an LA-based multi-disciplinary artist working in painting, drawing, photography, and digital media. His work confronts issues of erasure, misrepresentation, and fetishization, through portraiture that illuminates the spiritual essence of marginalized people, minority women.
J Michael was born in the Little Rock Arkansas, under segregation, and raised during the Civil Rights Era: Exposing the inequality, promoting inclusion, and social justice have guided his life and driven his artwork.
Walker’s art presents the women whose permission and trust he’s been gifted. Along with a deep awareness of his responsibility to represent these individuals with honor and truth, and with his intention to bring awareness and focus to the prevailing inequality and social bias’ that are still prevalent throughout our world, Walker creates his portraits in order to capture the beauty, the dignity, and the spirit of the universal feminine.
His work inspires us to take pause and contemplate how each one of us have and hold value, sharing experiences, in order to bend the path towards justice and harmony, acceptance, unity and inclusivity.
This exhibit Opens on August 18, and runs through September 15. we will host an Artist talk on September 8, 2024.
