Hudson D. Walker Gallery
Blake Daniels
Blake Daniels was raised in Cincinnati, Ohio and lives and works in Brooklyn, New York and Johannesburg, South Africa. Daniels’ practice traverses various traditions of storytelling, queer cultural practices, and memory to reveal collateral social histories. The paintings explore the legacies of modernism and contemporary visual language culturally located within Southern Africa and its oscillating relationship with the west. They are the recipient of the Edward L. Ryerson Fellowship from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago where they received their BA Fine Arts (2013) and received a Masters in Fine Arts from The University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg (2017). Daniels was included in the critical survey 100 Painters of Tomorrow published through Thames & Hudson (2014) and has been exhibited at galleries and institutions including the Wits Museum of Art in Johannesburg, the Monfai Arts Centre in Chiang Mai, Over the Influene in Hong Kong, BEERS in London, and blank projects in Cape Town.
Please note: The gallery is available to visit from Monday to Friday from 9 am to 5 pm. Please visit the administrative offices to be shown to the gallery.
Photo Gallery
The Hudson D. Walker Gallery at the Fine Arts Work Center has served as an early exhibition space for many major contemporary artists, including painters Firelei Báez, Jennifer Packer, and Lisa Yuskavage; as well as multimedia artists Ellen Gallagher, Jack Pierson, Troy Michie, and Jacolby Satterwhite, among many other past Fellows.
The gallery—a former storefront for the Days Coal and Lumberyard— was located at the corner of Pearl and Bradford streets until 2021, when it was centrally relocated to the Work Center’s new courtyard community space. The Hudson D. Walker gallery maintains a year-round exhibition program that is free and open to the public.
The Stanley Kunitz Common Room and the Hudson D. Walker Gallery are accessible facilities in compliance with ADA guidelines.
