Nolan Price

London based Nolan Price has an art practice that incorporates printmaking and ceramics. Five years in Japan brought new influences to bear in his work, both in terms of aesthetics and context, with traditional forms of Japanese pottery, such as the tea bowl, often being recalled. Previously his practice was purely sculptural, but exposure to those traditional vessel forms in Japan, both in wicker and in ceramics, drew him to reconsider the utilitarian and to see the sculptural within. 

He cites Gillian Lowndes, Simon Caroll and Philip Guston amongst his core influences. His work toys with figuration, though often settles in places outside of direct and immediate identification. Price talks of wishing the works to feel as though they are in the act of emerging.
