La Petite Mort Gallery Presents
CHARLENE WALKER: More Vicarious Travels

October 12 – 18, 2012
Vernissage Friday October 12 / 7-10pm

This theme developed organically. Initially, I was take with my  
friend’s travel photos. They showed me mysterious landscapes that I  
had never seen in real life. I felt the need to experience these  
places and I did that through painting. Since then, the idea has  
since taken on a life of its own and I now am always on the lookout  
for interesting travel photos.

Most of these paintings are based on travels to Machu Pichu, the  
Rockies and Mount Kilimanjaro. Despite the disparate locations, the  
similarities are striking. When fog obscures the landscape, you  
can’t tell if you are in Canada or Peru. There is a dream-like  
quality to the paintings that takes them a step towards the abstract  
and away from the figurative.

Try to place yourself into the paintings like I did into the photos,  
and maybe you’ll feel the wind in your hair too.
