Nicki Price’s atmospheric paintings act as calming viewfinders, bringing disparate international vistas together to give one, all-inclusive impression of the world’s beauty. Influenced by the weather, landforms, and plant life, Price incorporates natural rhythms of into her paintings. As a result, her renderings of landscapes and structures have a self-contained serenity, emphasizing the implicit splendor of pattern and repetition. A row of boats might float quietly, mirroring the tranquility of the clouds hovering above, and boulders might have the same stoic consistency as an uninterrupted expanse of blue sky.
For Price, making art is about looking and discovery-making. An avid traveler, she has spent ample time exploring international landscapes, landmarks, and art by other artists. Ultimately, her paintings take viewers away from themselves for a moment, offering them a glimpse of a sublime world in which cynicism and despondency have no place. Nicki Price, who lives and works in London, participated in the Royal Academy Summer Show. She has exhibited throughout the UK.
