Walter Price (born 1989) is an American painter based in New York City. He is represented by Greene Naftali, David Zwirner, and The Modern Institute. [1] [2]
Born and raised in Macon, Georgia, Price decided to become an artist in elementary school. [3] After he saw a photo of artist Jacob Lawrence wearing a sailor's uniform and standing next to one of his paintings, Price decided to enlist in the U.S. Navy. [4] He served four years in the navy aboard the USS Whidbey Island. [5] His military service enabled him to pursue his art education on the GI Bill. [5]
Price's artistic practice often involves materials beyond acrylic or vinyl paint, as he incorporates fabric and photographs into his works. [6] The paintings, often on wood panel, embody compositions that blur the line between abstraction and figuration. [5]
