Thomas J Price

Network, 2013

Network  is London-based artist Thomas J Price’s (b.1981) largest work to date and stands at an imposing scale of nearly 9 feet high. The sculpture shows a young, casually-dressed man looking at his mobile phone. Although the figure exhibits a relaxed posture, his facial expression belies a sense of calm. All of Price’s works share a fascination with people, body language, and expression as well as an exploration of classic modes of western art and his own Jamaican heritage. This work, for example, is traditional in its scale and material, but forward-looking in its aesthetic and meaning.
