JC Gallery, London, Urban Rhythms: Walkowitz and New York City, 2024

“If it brings to me a harmonious sensation…” Walkowitz once said, “…I then try to find the concrete elements that are likely to record the sensation in visual forms.”


This philosophy is made visible through 'Abstract #2'. Energised by diagonal lines intersecting each other and leading primarily to the top right or bottom left corner, the work contains a strong visual harmony. Walkowitz plays with a delicate balance of lines and circles creating an enticingly composed piece. Much like other influential modernist artists, such as Arthur Dove and Kandinsky, Walkowitz was influenced by music, drawn in by its emotionally transformative powers and entrancing rhythms.
