Walter Price: Pearl Lines
Tickets & Info
Tickets & Info
Offering the most comprehensive museum exploration to date on Walter Price’s (US, b. 1989) work, Pearl Lines provides a window into the artist’s evolving practice. The exhibition features never-before-seen canvases and a painting acquired by the Walker in 2020 that will be on public display for the first time.
Price’s paintings are distinguished by his engagement with history, race, and cultural consciousness. While he uses distinct references, he also denies any clear articulation of specific events in his imagery. His canvases burst with lush, vivid colors, pulling viewers into his psychically charged interior worlds in which everyday objects, figures, and domestic environments emerge from swaths of thick color and tangles of lines, marks, and symbols.
Featuring more than 20 paintings, the exhibition is organized around recurring themes and imagery that the artist has explored in recent years. The presentation features selections from significant bodies of work produced between 2017 and 2023, providing visitors the opportunity to experience a full range of his works on canvas.
Rosario Güiraldes, Curator, Visual Arts; with Brandon Eng, Curatorial Assistant, Visual Arts
