Artist Reception: September 22, 5-8pm ALTAMIRA FINE ART JACKSON

Altamira Fine Art Jackson is pleased to present a new one-man show for Jackson Hole artist Travis Walker.

The show opens September 20 and an Artist Reception will be held on Thursday evening, September 22 from 5-8pm.

Presales available. Call 307-739-4700 or email connect@altamiraart.com

The show will feature over a dozen new paintings, including popular Jackson landmarks and beyond. For the last 10 years Travis Walker has made landscape paintings about Jackson Hole, a place that never ceases to inspire him to pick up his brushes. He works on location, capturing the essence of the seemingly mundane scenes around town: a morning on the Elk Refuge, a decaying house with a fence made of skis, a vintage trailer park. His work is influenced by the work of American regionalists Edward Hopper and Grant Wood, Japanese printmaking, and German Expressionism. “A common subject in my work is the road, which represents our journey through life. We start off staring down the lines of a road, and our entire lives we continue to follow the road to new places. My fascination with roads led me to another symbol in my work: the trailer home. I have found so many of trailers scattered throughout the West that I have come to view them as representations of the American Dream, full of hope, uncertainty, and memory.� ~ Travis Walker
