Walter Price, born in Macon, Georgia, creates paintings and drawings that blur the line between figuration and abstraction. A U.S. Navy veteran turned artist, he developed a unique visual language of vivid colors, fragmented bodies, and playful motifs like sofas, brick walls, and palm trees. Influenced by artists such as Jacob Lawrence and Henry Taylor, Price combines cultural references in ways that defy fixed meanings. His work, shown at venues like MoMA PS1, aims for an immediate, visceral impact—art that, in his words, “feels funky.”
