Walsh’s art is based on extensive research of the intertwined histories of liberation struggles and socialist activism, as it relates to the United States and Los Angeles. These marginalized histories, which are often discussed separately, are united in this exhibition through Walsh’s synthesis of the material, creating one of a kind hand-drawn maps, inventories of political groups, graphic interpolations with historical political ephemera and documents, activist portraiture, optical aphorisms, and future-oriented iconography. Political influences--whether historical, theoretical, or aesthetic—are fused into dynamic relation through Walsh’s drawings. Linkages of revolutionary culture: past, present, and future are fused as well, forging a new paradigm of political art. Walsh’s labor intensive hand drawn artworks provide a rich historic context and foster a dialogue about America’s socialist legacies within the contemporary context, a resurgent American political left, and the role of individual art production within the field of activism.
