Meet Dáreece Walker and hear about his unique artistic practice. 

Walker is a Visual Artist from Colorado Springs, currently living in Brooklyn, NY. He creates figurative narrative paintings, drawings, and sculpture that combine race, identity and religion into socio political responses. 
Dáreece's work speaks on the Black experience, often pulling from personal stories about his upbringing. In the midst of the rising conversations around "Black Lives Matter" and the deeply complex history of police brutality, Walker's work is relevant and poignant, acting as a tool for social activism and education.

His work has been featured in the New York Times, the Washington Post, and Hyperallergic. Recent shows include, 'Respond' at Smack Mellon Gallery in Dumbo, the 10th Annual Governors Island Art Fair, Prizm Art Fair in Miami and 'Black is the Giant', a Solo Exhibition at the Long Gallery in Harlem, among others.
