'Fish' is a play on the slang term for torpedo. The fish image has other meanings is in Evangelical presentations such as bumper stickers and small business signs. The lapel pins embedded in the frame evoke these other connotations.

Blush is a generative simulation environment that models the flow and blending dynamics of paint. An array of control parameters allow artists and designers to experiment with hue, saturation, blending characteristics, and viscosity. These design experiments can be rendered as still images or animations that highlight the paint-like qualities of the digital material.

This companion piece to the work 'Right', is a portrait of an African American Muslim boy. The meaning of juxtaposing the figure with the word and the pennies inlaid in the frame will be decided through the bias of the viewer.

Special

This companion piece to the work 'Special' is of a businessman in his office. The meaning of the word 'right' changes based on the bias of the viewer.
  
  
All works by Mark Louis Walters are copyrighted.

Right

This large work consists of three canvases with one image each. They are of a woman at Lake Michigan in 1947, an advertising image of an artillery shell from a defense industry magazine, and a jihadist. These images are juxtaposed in order to explore the language or narrative implied.
  
  
All works by Mark Louis Walters are copyrighted.

Red Hot Bombshell

This piece juxtaposes several images and a sentence attributed to the artist to imply multiple narratives which are dependent upon the perceptions of the viewer and how they consider the objects or figures relate to one another.
  
  
All works by Mark Louis Walters are copyrighted.

Godhead

This very large work, at 16 feet wide and 9 feet in height, is compositionally based on the Ghent Altarpiece by Van Eyck. It represents imagery that took on a nearly mythological role in the mind of the artist as a boy, who dreamed of becoming a fighter pilot.

Ghent

This work juxtaposes an image from a 'B' movie from the 1940's with a self portrait of the artist at the age of five, with the central figure and the boy both depicted in red sweaters. The frame is decorated with keyholes. These elements are designed to evoke multiple narratives from the viewer.
  
  
All works by Mark Louis Walters are copyrighted.

The Red Sweater

This double portrait leaves the importance of the word 'secret' and its association with the two figures up to the viewer. Multiple narratives are implied. A Morse Code message is delineated in the small red and white rectangles cut into the frame. In the center of the piece is a representation of the cover used by the United States Department of Defense for documents classified as 'secret'.

I Have a Secret

This 4 x 4 inch canvas embedded in a wooden construction with .50 caliber bullets and a metal airplane toy evokes the religious objects traditionally found in altars within the home. This reflects a sort of subconscious personal mythology of the artist.

'Cherry' - acrylic on canvas in frame built by artist which includes inlaid toy cars.

This painting of a Michigan State Trooper police car light is a play on the slang term 'cherry'. This word can have other slang meanings which are be implied by colors in the work and made manifest by the imagination of the viewer.

Uncertainty Clock draws on the dataset generated by Fermilab’s Muon g-2 experiment to generate a field of virtual particles. The behavior of the particles is influenced by features of the data, such as the number of muons detected by the 24 calorimeters, and the structural pattern of the particles reflects the experimental design of the experiment.

Wally has a snake for an arm, a turt on the head and mismatching shoes. Wally clearly has some things going on in life and doesn’t need to be judged as a weirdo by you or anyone ells. Its easy to throw judgments and make assumptions on appearance and behaviour because they are different from you but until we walk in another’s shoes do we really know anything about them? Wolly gets on with life and keeps marching on. Let wally be weird, be more like wally.

Sometimes we just need to stop and smell the flowers. Partly inspired by Van Goughs Sunflowers. As a man who battles with his demons, I completely understand Vincent’s need to get away and focus on his craft, away from people’s negativity and constant need for attention, away from the relentlessness of life. A sign of returning spring and summer, Passion, Love, Purity and Peace. Take time for yourself and look / Smell the flowers

Animus Possession is taken from Jung's theory on the archetypes.     Animus is the male aspect of a woman and this piece meditates upon the deepest archetypal emblems of feminine beauty, danger and eroticism in painting.

Animus Possession 

Durer's Melencholia shows the character with a shadow cast across her face to connote the Humor of Melancholy. The character in this piece is homage to Durer and an attempt to play with light sources to evoke drama.

Melancholia: after Durer 

the Book of Enoch relates the story of Samyaza and his band of angels who corrupted humans with all manner of mischief.     An attempt to interpret and convey aspects of various creation myths has been a preoccupation of my painting practice for some time

Samyaza the Fallen. 

here a biblical narrative is skewed and recoded with a psychedelic, new gothic slant.

Cain and his Son Enoch

the blade offers protection from fallen angels who corrupted earth women in the Book of Enoch. Moreover, Jung's theory of Animus & Anima feature strongly across this body of canvases. Animus is the male aspect in every woman. 

Animus: from The Daughters of Men series

from the Fallen series.   Samyaza was the leader of a band of fallen angels in the book of Enoch.  This body of new paintings considers a tantalising creation myth in paint, by meditating upon archetypal emblems.

Samyaza with Skull rings & Chain

From the Fallen series,  adapted from the Book of Enoch where a band of fallen angels corrupt humanity.

Tribute to the A

Natural Machine Landscapes is a speculative design and sculpture project that leverages Artificial Intelligence to imagine synthetic landscapes. A large corpus of landscape terrain data was scraped from the internet with custom software and used as training data for a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) that I implemented. Once trained, the GAN produced novel, synthetic elevation maps in the style of the original data. Selections from these synthetic images are then 3D printed to produce sculptural representations of the Natural Machine Landscapes. 
The imagined landscapes provide a point of reflection on the future of technology’s interactions with reality and the implications of synthetic experience in a world where the boundaries between the virtual and the physical continue to blur.

Portrait of a Nation highlights voices of protest in a humble attempt to support and stand in solidarity with the anit-racist movement. These voices, recorded June 2020 during protests in Los Angeles, energize the figurative network of the visualization and the literal network of the Black Lives Matter movement.

Still images from Portrait of a Nation are available for purchase with 100% of proceeds donated to SURJ (Showing Up for Racial Justice): https://www.showingupforracialjustice.org/
