"Silence"
Acrylic on canvas
Steve Walker
What I Like About This: The works of the late Canadian artist Steve Walker are my favorites in the genre depicting the lives of SGL/gay men. This piece entitled "Silence," as do all his works, captures the essence of an aspect of gay culture which was common during his lifetime... Here we see the subject lying awake waiting for a phone call from perhaps the one he loves and we are left to wonder if it ever came.
The same for me and more as I'm a Canadian but living in Montréal. I saw some of his paintings in real and they are wonderfully made too. His subjects really get the essence of what gay life is and so deep in significations.
