Price never casts his figurative works at a one-to-one scale, stating that the size variations foster an interplay with silently coded monuments that permeate society, prompting us to reconsider who should exist in that form.

The fictional bronze works are constructed from a full spectrum of amalgamated images and observations, as well as 3D scanning that took place during an open call in LA summer 2022.

Price continues to reference existing historical narratives and the western canon of classical sculpture, with ‘A Place Beyond’ (2023) he features a subtle nod to Gian Lorenzo Bernini’s ‘David’ in the formal structure of the body and sense of tension in the twist of the torso.
As a counter, Price’s self-defined figures exist outside of the colonial gaze and monumentalise the ordinary, they encompass a space that transcend the need for dominance and aim to re-establish a deeper human context.

The works represent characteristics and physiognomy of real-life participants from LA, alongside details captured in the UK and beyond.
