Artist Statement

"The imagination is responsible for everything human-made. Therefore it is one of our most important attributes. " - Nathan Price

Nathan Price is a Scottish contemporary artist who graduated from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design in 2022 with a first class honour's degree in Fine Art.

Since graduating, Nathan has dedicated himself to the creative process, exhibiting work in Edinburgh's Royal Scottish Academy as part of the SSA 130 years annual exhibition, and being commissioned by the creative arts venue, Summerhall to complete his first public art installation for the Festival Fringe 2023.

Striving for his first solo exhibition and international exhibitions, Nathan uses social media's global reach to self-promote and translate his art practice into accessible online entertainment.

His aim is to inspire and encourage others to be individually creative and imaginative while developing and sharing his own passion for art.

With an outcome independent mindset, Nathan's art is playfully intuitive, energetic, bold, imaginative, abstract, resourceful, vibrant, experimental, and fearless. He plays with a range of mediums and enjoys the unfolding relationship between them, encouraging serendipity and an ebb and flow of creation and destruction.

"My creativity and imagination began to flow and expand when I started following the path of least resistance in my mind and with the physical mediums i work with. " - Nathan Price

"I play with ephemerality within my work and it not lasting forever. Just like life. I'm not trying to hold on to one option, but instead let go, embrace change, and see what else can become." - Nathan Price

This ephemeral process was inspired by Nathan's observations of ever-changing graffiti and street art walls when he first moved from his countryside home to the city of Dundee to embark on his art school journey.

Using the method of 'Dérives', Nathan takes unplanned journeys through various terrain, letting himself absorb and be immersed in his surroundings and unexpectedly influenced by his encounters.
