Mixed Media

American sculptor Kenneth Price produced small scale objects, commonly ceramic, of biomorphic, abstract shapes. Rather than glazing his sculptures, he preferred to paint his objects using multiple layers of bold acrylic paint that he then sanded down to reveal layers of colors. He synthesized images of erotica, geology and Mexican-folk pottery in his sculptures and drawings; in his later career, his prints and paintings took on a narrative quality, presenting similar ovoid shapes as characters with identities in contemporary domestic or outdoor scenes.
