Narrative Series & Ongoing Projects

Rather than single paintings, Price often works in a series each exploring a cohesive narrative: Evolution of a Myth: spans ten paintings from “The Birth of Adam” to “Apocalypse, God on Her Bicycle”. Resurrection Adventures: a ten‑painting series from “The Mystic Marriage of Nefertiti to the Demi-God” to a “Personal Pieta”. Alchemical Metamorphoses references medieval European symbolism in relation to contemporary psychological states. A series begun in 2025 , Mayan Fantasies explores cross cultural iconography of ancient Mayan and European imagery.

Mayan Fantasies

Mayan Fantasies was inspired after two trips to the Yucatan peninsular, Mexico, in 2024 and 2025. The cross-cultural iconographic sychronicity of ancient to classic Mayan and ancient Greek to late Medieval imagery inspired a world full of possibilities. Works are in progress – 2026.

Chroma-Scapes

Chroma-Scapes (2024 – 2025)

These works perform as a conceptual transfiguration of a landscape into a chromatic composition based upon the pigment particle size of the prepared rocks and crystals. The layers of colour of the natural mineral pigments create a chromatic depth to unify the compositional elements which perform like a landscape memory, or dream. Pure gold leaf and white gold as final layers, or under-layers for other colours are integral in creating a luminous chromatic experience.

Alchemical Metamorphoses

The series of Alchemical Metamorphosis, still a work in progress (2025), was inspired by Carl Jung’s writing, Volume 12, “Psychology and Alchemy”.

“Myth is the primordial language natural to these psychic processes, and no intellectual formulation comes anywhere near the richness and expressiveness of mythical imagery. Such processes are concerned with primordial images, and these are best and most succinctly reproduced by figurative language.”
