Through light and color, Steve Walker created warm, living, real men of beauty and emotion on the canvas, imbuing his figures with the subtle tenderness of shared love and quiet moments of reflection. The allure of the figure has been immortalized in painting and sculpture for centuries, yet few artists capture the quiet grace and vulnerability underlying the voluptuous musculature and sinewy lines of the idealized male nude. He will be missed, and I for one cannot thank him enough for all the wonderful ideas he gave me.
When I finished the book, I asked if the picture might possibly be used for the cover and only then was informed that he had passed away. My version has its flaws, his artwork has none. I saw it on his website and was moved to try and capture what led to the moment in the relationship of the two men, one of aching tenderness and trust. The idea for Acrobat was inspired by a painting of Steve Walker’s called Parallel Dreams.
