Walter Price

Despite their sometimes intimate scale, all of his paintings have an intensity and breadth that is almost filmic in nature – mise en scenes filled with familiar objects and landscapes, isolated in space but abstracted from reality and their relationships to each other. Language is used in a similar way to figures and objects within the paintings – often concealed and fragmented, taken out of their original context, the words and phrases become formal elements of the paintings themselves. His drawings extend these processes, an active steam of consciousness that use a directness in mark making, energy and movement which is reflected in his paintings.
