Walter Price aims to remove any imposed hierarchy between drawing and painting, as well as abstraction and figuration. With a longstanding interest in colour and the power of everyday objects – he often repeats forms and titles in his artworks and exhibitions. The repeated use of the exhibition title ‘Pearl Lines’ underscores the fundamental importance of repetition and the drawn line in his oeuvre. Price attributes this interest in repetition in particular back to the four years he served in the US Navy and the daily life routine this provided. 

Walter Price was born in Macon, Georgia in 1989 and lives and works in New York.
