flawlessly executed, King's

PREVIOUSLY:
WALTER KING:Midwest Dialog
August 23rd through September 23rd.
An opening reception will be held Sept. 2nd 6-8pm at
the Shot Tower Gallery of the Fort Hayes High School for Arts and Academics.
Columbus Ohio.
The Shot Tower Gallery at Fort Hayes announces a major retrospective exhibition curated by Teresa Weidenbush. Teresa has been the director of the Shot Tower Gallery for much of its modern history.
Walter King: Midwest Dialog highlights 40 years of Mr. Kings production much of which was created here in Columbus Ohio. The exhibition is a major survey of Walter�s work starting in the 70�s when the artist was just 17. With over 200 artworks the exhibition will reveal works never exhibited either in Columbus or anywhere Walter has shown. The list of Walter�s exhibitions spirals out from Columbus to the region, the United States, Europe, Japan and Argentina.
Walter was born in Baltimore MD in 1952. His parents moved to Oklahoma in 1959. He moved his family to Columbus OH in 1976. After a short stint as a teaching fellow at Wichita State University in Kansas he spent 2 years working in Oklahoma as a graphic artist and 2 years of grad school in Boston (Boston University College of Fine Art) he returned to Columbus to teach at the Columbus College of Art and Design in 1985. What was to be a transitional career move became a life's work.
For most of his artistic life Walter has made a significant contribution to Ohio art both as an artist and educator. For three decades after moving to Columbus from Oklahoma when he was 23 to attend CCAD he has exhibited his paintings, worked as a graphic artist, an illustrator, even a mannequin repairman re-sculpting broken noses, fingers and other smashed body parts. An innovative and highly respected painter, an accomplished draftsman, published illustrator and poet and an inspirational teacher, Walt�s local exhibitions have consistently received positive reviews not only for his own work but for exhibitions he�s helped organize and curate from the Columbus Dispatch arts writers, Dialog Magazine, the New Arts Examiner. The Indianapolis Star and the Tulsa World. In spite of his remarkable accomplishments, Walt's sometimes dreamy and sometimes shockingly emotive and engaging work is not nearly as well known as we think it should be. This retrospective exhibition seeks to locate Walt's work in the place of prominence it deserves. The exhibition includes some 150 paintings, many are major works of art. The show also will highlight his drawings, prints, photography, sculpture, illustration and graphic design as well as preparatory sketches and experimental videos.
Altogether there will be more than 220 works filling the Shot Tower Gallery, one of the largest and the oldest working art galleries in Ohio. If you only go to see one art exhibition this year this is the one you won�t want to miss.
