Lower
2006
A rounded, organic ceramic form sits low to the ground, its undulating surface coated in layers of vivid, carefully applied acrylic paint that create a rich, luminous finish. Ken Price's meticulous painting technique transforms the fired clay into something that seems almost alive, with shifting hues and subtle gradations that reward close looking. "Lower" exemplifies Price's lifelong commitment to elevating clay as a fine art medium while blurring the boundaries between sculpture, painting, and pure abstraction.
