Walter Price: Pearl Lines Paris

In Pearl Lines Paris, Walter Price explores how misinformation and the overconsumption of news as entertainment shape individual perceptions of truth. The exhibition presents a series of paintings in which abstraction—through line, distortion, and shape—blurs representation, reflecting the way truth becomes subjective and manipulated in contemporary society. Repetition in the works echoes the cyclical nature of algorithmic information on social media, with dashed and dotted lines functioning both as familiar motifs and as gestures in space. Fragmented perspectives in the paintings mirror the current moment, where experience is mediated and constructed, and the pursuit of truth feels increasingly abandoned.

A melancholic blue palette dominates the works, evoking a deceptive calm: while blue is commonly perceived as cool, Price uses it as the “hottest point of flame,” a metaphor for invisible rage. The exhibition captures a world of chaos and division, offering a visual reflection on contemporary social and psychological fractures.
