GuytonWalker — “We were trying to find a form and a vocabulary that was truly collaborative…..We didn't want the works to have elements that were identifiably Guyton or Walker, but became instead the work of a third artist”

“We were trying to find a form and a vocabulary that was truly collaborative…..We didn't want the works to have elements that were identifiably Guyton or Walker, but became instead the work of a third artist”

GuytonWalker's silkscreen and inkjet on canvas work emerges from a deeply intentional creative merger between artists Wade Guyton and Kelley Walker, who sought to dissolve their individual artistic identities in pursuit of something entirely new. The work exists as a product of negotiation and shared authorship, where the mechanical processes of silkscreening and inkjet printing become the neutral ground upon which neither hand dominates. The result is an image that belongs to an imagined third artist — a collaborative phantom born from the tension and synthesis of two distinct practices becoming one.
