Surrealism Meets the Sea by JJ WALKER: Moll del Mestral - Port Olimpic, Barcelona

British artist JJ Walker’s new exhibition presents a lavish, textured landscape of colour and narrative. His fresh, bold artworks are rich in symbolism and layered with social commentary, reflecting a deep fascination with the human condition — its highs and lows, complexities and contradictions.

His concerns for the health of our planet are vividly expressed in pieces like Hybrid and Dance of the Bees, while our enduring struggle to overcome authoritarian power structures is explored in Clockwork Kings II.

Though JJ tackles serious and often urgent themes, his art remains full of optimism. A sharp sense of humour, a strong social conscience, and a surreal perspective run through each piece, offering a uniquely uplifting take on contemporary issues.
