About
Alex Price’s work reinterprets natural forms through intuitive line and gesture in an ongoing study of material presence, perception and meaning. The vegetal structures that recur throughout his practice sit somewhere between suggestion and raw materiality. Each one reconfigures the natural world through improvised mark-making, while emphasising the physical substance and process of production. Some areas accrete or congeal, while others expose the surface beneath. The resulting compositions bridge painting and drawing, image and object, mind and matter, questioning what is seen, what is known, and what is imagined.
