Solomon Fine Art is delighted to welcome internationally renowned artist, Corban Walker to the gallery stable.
Walker (b.1967, Dublin) is widely recognised for his installations, sculptures, and drawings that relate to perceptions of scale and architectural constructs. His local, cultural, and specific philosophies of scale are fundamental to how he defines and develops his work, creating new means for viewers to interact and navigate their surroundings.
Walker graduated from the National College of Art and Design, Dublin, in 1992. Since then, he has mounted several solo exhibitions internationally and has realized important public art commissions worldwide. Walker's work is part of numerous public and private collections including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York and the Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin. Walker represented Ireland at the 54th Venice International Art Biennale in 2011 and received the prestigious Pollock Krasner Award in 2015.
Walker's latest public sculpture, Bushy, was unveiled last year in Dublin's Bushy Park as part of the Sculpture Dublin initiative. His most recent institutional solo exhibition, As Far As I Can See took place at the Crawford Gallery, Cork from 15 October 2022 – 15 January 2023 (scroll down for details).
Walker will present his first solo exhibition with Solomon Fine Art in Autumn 2023.
