Gay Art: Steve Walker - Just Guys

Artist Steve Walker's paintings are stirring, emotionally charged, and gentle. "As a homosexual I have been moved, educated, and inspired by works that deal with a heterosexual context," says Walker. "Why would I assume that a heterosexual would be incapable of appreciating work that speaks to common themes in life, as seen through my eyes as a gay man. If the heterosexual population is unable to do this, then the loss is theirs, not mine." It would be hard to imagine anyone, straight or gay, who wouldn't be moved by Walker's treatment of male couples.

If Walker were an abstract painter or a landscape artist, he says his sexual orientation wouldn't matter. But since his paintings are about gay life, his sexual orientation becomes more important than his cultural background, age, or nationality. Lucky for us!
