Stephen Price
Visual Artist
ABOUT
Born in Palermo (Italy) in 1995, Price moved to the United Kingdom with his family in 2014 where he obtained a BFA in Painting and Drawing from the University of Northampton. Drawing inspiration from the notion of temporality, Price’s paintings offer a poetic encounter and marriage between abstraction and figuration.
Using a mixed media technique consisting of charcoal, pastels and acrylic on canvas, Price paints intimate and psychological-like narratives on his canvas. His visual language pushes beyond pure replication of the photographic images and deviates from physical images by combining his imagination and memories. By applying the skin with the depth of charcoal and thick expressive brushstrokes of acrylic, he creates a physicality of texture that is both rough and soft. One of his collectors described his work as “hauntingly beautiful”.
Stephen Price’s work has been exhibited in the framework of two group exhibitions at the Chilli Art Projects in London, and he was recently featured in the group exhibition “In Situ: Encounters of Place” (2022) at Kó Art Space in Lagos. We are particularly excited to add Stephen Price to the meticulously curated list of emerging artists we represent as he has been on our radar since his first solo exhibition “Luminous Portraits” with Gallery At Home (Usk, Wales) in 2021.
Stephen Price’s work has integrated the collections of notable collectors in the United Kingdom, the United States, China, Malaysia, France, Belgium and Nigeria.
