Jerry Walden
Présentation
Robert Jerome (Jerry) Walden, Sr. (né en 1941 à Langdale, AL, et décédé en 2019 à Rock Hill, SC, USA) était un artiste et un professeur d'art originaire du sud rurald des États-Unis. Profitant de la GI Bill pour son service dans l'US Air Force (1960-62), il a obtenu son BFA à l'Université d'Auburn (Auburn, AL) en 1968 et son MFA en peinture à la Lamar Dodd School of Art de l'Université de Géorgie (Athens, GA) en 1971. Formé dans la tradition académique du dessin figuratif, il était également accompli dans la représentation et l'abstraction pure, qu'il a explorées principalement dans la peinture, le dessin et la gravure, mais aussi parfois dans la sculpture et le collage ainsi que par l'assemblage de matériaux mixtes. Sur le plan stylistique, sa pratique en studio oscille entre l'expressionnisme, le minimalisme et le surréalisme et combine parfois des aspects de ces styles dans une même œuvre.
