On view now! @SaveArtSpace: Black Whimsy

Selected Artist & Location
@skvwalk
Atlantic Ave & Utica Ave, Brooklyn, NY

Skylar “Sky” Walker is a Black American paper collage artist from Atlanta, GA and currently based in Brooklyn, NY. She is a research-based artist who translates research on Black history, culture, and futures into worlds that she creates and honors. Her collage work traverses into fantastical realms of self-exploration and liberation, opening a space where the self attunes to the world around us. Through natural and cosmic imagery, she considers liberating Blackness as interwoven with the natural world. As you traverse through the portals of her work, time collapses and her imagination becomes but a memory of the future. Her work is an ode to history, honoring those who paved the way, while also a visualization of a future, glimpsing into a world where paths toward freedom unfold across space and time. During her career, she has been a 2023 Institute for Diversity in the Arts Fellow and a 2024 Lyric McHenry Fellow. She has also exhibited work internationally; From the Bay Area to New York to the Netherlands, her work has been featured in Good Mother Studio, SOMArts Center, BarBario, and the Harlem Fine Arts Show.
