A r t i s t . P r o f i l e Rory Price Born 1989 Scotland Lives and Works in Glasgow Scotland Graduated 2012 from The Glasgow School of Art Price’s formative years were spent living in the Shetland isles. A remote and isolated island community located half way between Scotland and Norway. Such a location nurtured his imagination. From an early age, art was to become a vital means of expression and communication. He studied at the Glasgow school of art from 2008-2012. His degree show was awarded The Steven Campbell Memorial, for the poetic creativity in his exuberant display of paintings. Price’s approach to making art favours a spontaneous, imaginative, unplanned and often unhinged approach. Works often feature surrealist or expressionistic imagery, with a focus on the stranger aspects of the human psyche.




Clusterfuck Concerto Age 22; an Anthem for Spatial Delusion. 2012 Oil on board 198 x 122 cm “This painting is loosley based on the temptaions of St Anthony, acting as both a protrait of the artist and a portrait of the world in which he inhabits: A self protrait as a city. It is an early attempt of channeling the energy of Henri Mattisse and Heironymous Bosh into a choherent vision. Smoking pidgeons, pulsing hearts, neon nudes, sex, death, and flamoyance all included.”
