John Walker
CHICAGO, IL
John Walker creates intricate, narrative paintings that are satirical and humorous, spinning tales of forgotten civilizations inhabited by characters of his own making. With clean, technical skill, he executes his imagined worlds realistically through gorgeous rendering and attention to every detail of texture, form, and story.
John Walker is based outside of Chicago, IL and studied at the College of DuPage and the American Academy of Art in Chicago. He has won numerous awards for his incredible work and has been featured in Beautiful Bizarre Magazine, Spectrum Art annual, Acrylic Artist magazine and the French contemporary art magazine, Hey!. Walker began exhibiting with Arch Enemy Arts after submitting to our 2017 Open Call Spotlight Showcase and has appeared in more than ten group shows since.
