For his 5th exhibition at Galerie Chantal Crousel, Seth Price presents a new series of paintings that introduces enigmatic figures such as cosmic textures, botanical forms, and hand-drawn symbols.
Several works contain representations of mirrored spheres that reflect real-world photographed scenes—Price’s studio, the sky, and landscapes—folding these external environments into the pictorial space. The exhibition includes a large-scale work from his ongoing Thought Comes From The Body series, as well as several drawings.
Price began exhibiting his work in the mid-2000s and quickly became known for his radically experimental approach to an array of media and forms, beginning with his influential essay/artwork Dispersion, and continuing through a series of sculptures that explored modern cultural codes through industrial materials, including the vacuumformed plastic reliefs, wooden Silhouettes, crumpled mylar works, and fabric envelopes assembled in haute-couture workshops. His innovative paintings of the last five years employ traditional brushwork and gesture as well as unconventional approaches like 3D graphics, flatbed printing, and AI imagery.
These works continue, within the space of painting, Price’s deep and long-time artistic investigation into the increasingly intertwined relationship between materiality and immateriality.
He has said:
“We live in a world of objects and material, and also in a world that you can’t touch and often can’t see. That could mean the space of waves and particles and forces, or the alien worlds in our phones, or the world of gods and demons, but all of religion and spirituality and art has always dealt with this basic split: there’s the world of the body and material life, and then there’s everything that must be imagined.”
