Walter Price (artist)

Walter Price (born 1989) is an American painter based in New York City. He is represented by Greene Naftali and The Modern Institute

Early life
Born and raised in Macon, Georgia, Price served four years in the navy aboard the USS Whidbey Island (LSD-41). His military service enabled him to pursue his art education on the GI Bill.

Career
Price's artistic practice often involves materials beyond acrylic or vinyl paint, as he incorporates fabric and photographs into his works. The paintings, often on wood panel, embody compositions that blur the line between abstraction and figuration.
