Reflection, Seth Walker, 2024, pen and ink on black paper, 5.5 x 8.5 in. / 13.97 x 21.59 cm.
In Reflection, layered currents of color and line weave between sky, forest, and figure. The composition’s intricate motion mirrors thought itself, alive, circling, and luminous. The figure gazes toward a mirrored world of trees, as though contemplating duality: self and nature, consciousness and dream. Each mark hums with devotion to the process of seeing, both outward and inward.
Eclipse, Seth Walker, 2025, gel pens on black paper, 12.5 x 8.5 in. / 31.75 x 21.59 cm.
Eclipse distills cosmic drama into pure form. Against a patterned horizon, a dark orb radiates with curling white tendrils of light, its energy contained yet unstoppable. The lines flow like solar flares rendered in sacred geometry, capturing a moment of awe when light and shadow coexist. The black void at its center becomes both mystery and meditation.
Fear/Calm, Seth Walker, 2022, pen and ink on black paper, 5.5 x 8.5 in. / 13.97 x 21.59 cm.
In Fear/Calm, two presences, a golden figure and a pale animal, meet in a flowering landscape beneath circling skies. The atmosphere vibrates between tenderness and unease, as though the viewer has stumbled upon an ancient myth retold in living color. Walker’s fine linework turns pattern into pulse, allowing fear to dissolve into stillness, and stillness into wonder.
Across these works, Walker bridges the terrestrial and the transcendent. His language of pattern and light conjures a cosmos both personal and universal, a place where consciousness mirrors creation, and where every mark feels like a prayer.
