Deshaun Walker

Born and raised in Atlanta, Deshaun began to pursue his art practice in high school. His abstract paintings channel intense emotions, capturing moments of anger, love, and loss. Rage is translated into attacks on the canvas with acrylics, oil pastels, airbrushes, and Mod Podge. Feelings of respite are captured with calming tonality and precise materials like colored pencils, while intimate moments of family dissonance are reflected in darker tones and complex sculptural layering. Colors twist and turn into a painterly psyche, exploring deep recesses of Deshaun’s mind.
