Florida Man , 2019

Born in 1989, he lives and works in Brooklyn.

Walter Price’s paintings and drawings tread the line between figuration and abstraction, creating interior worlds that hover on the brink of legibility. His works are studded with sparse symbols suggestive of both personal and cultural experiences—a chair, a palm tree, a Georgia peach, a brick wall, —their identities recognizable yet, but never fully comprehended, decoupled from their mainstream signifiers. His work is apart from the classic representation of African-American people.
