Thomas J Price: Moments of Truth

British artist Thomas J Price on dealing with issues of power, representation and perception in his work.
For more than two decades, Price has been challenging the expectations and assumptions of those who encounter his art. Working predominantly in sculpture, Price also engages the mediums of film and photography. He approaches his subjects both intuitively and conceptually: observing the individual in a fleeting moment, responding to stereotypes perpetuated by the media, and drawing on the canon of art history. For Price, these varied sources channel ‘all these moments of truth into one thing that had to then represent this truth.’
Thomas J Price’s first exhibition with Hauser & Wirth, ‘Thoughts Unseen,’ is on view in Somerset, 2 October 2021 - 3 January 2022. ‘Thomas J Price: Witness’ presented by The Studio Museum in Harlem, is on view at Marcus Garvey Park, New York, 2 October 2021 - 2 October 2022. The artist has been commissioned to create a public artwork in Hackney in 2022, commemorating the Windrush generation.
