Vanishing Point 43 (Veronese)
2023
This large scale graphite and acrylic work presents a heavily rendered figure in classical drapery, depicted in three quarter view against a predominantly white ground. The composition features a single kneeling or reclining form rendered with meticulous hatching and tonal modeling, while fainter, more loosely sketched figures appear in the upper left, creating a sense of narrative or psychological depth. The juxtaposition of finished and unfinished elements, combined with the work's monumental scale, invites viewers into a dialogue between material presence and ethereal absence. Walker's practice engages with art historical precedent and the Old Masters, here interrogating representation through the lens of contemporary drawing technique and conceptual rigor.
