Central H Queen's |Walter Price: Pearl Lines

Description

David Zwirner is pleased to present Pearl Lines, an exhibition of new paintings by New York–based artist Walter Price (b. 1989). Price is known for his richly vibrant paintings and drawings, which bypass strict allegiances to representational or abstract modes. His canvases and works on paper not only experiment freely with color, line, and space but also reveal emphatic shifts in perspective, suggesting scenes and imagery that the artist ultimately leaves for viewers to absorb and contemplate on their own.

Price’s signature blue palette is prominent across the works exhibited in Hong Kong. He also incorporates various hues of green, a color that has been especially associated with Hong Kong. Green summons images of the region’s luxuriant surrounds—forested mountain ranges and emerald coastal waters—as well as “Hong Kong Tram Green,” created by Pantone in 2021 to memorialize the color of the city’s distinctive transit vehicles.
