Jane Price
“My current work is predominantly of landscapes, of which many are set around water, be they marshes, estuaries or lakes. My challenge is to evoke a mood and atmosphere that is redolent of the light and moisture that hangs in the air around such natural bodies of water.
At first glance I want the viewer to recognise such of the subject as is necessary to draw them in to look more deeply, hopefully to recognise and feel the mood that I have tried to capture. As a consequence I do not intend my style to be in any way precious, or a traditional landscape representation.
I work with pastels, acrylics and graphite pencil on 850gsm handmade watercolour paper, generally to a scale of 56cm x 76cm. The thickness of the paper is important as it affords me the opportunity to layer and scratch away to get the effect that I am after.
Following a foundation course at East Warwickshire College I studied for a degree in Furniture & Product design at Kingston University
For fifteen years I worked as a product designer, with a London based design company, specialising in colour, materials and finishes on a variety of furniture and product briefs ranging from Herman Miller to Parker Pens and Kodak.
In 2004 I became a full-time artist, working from Great Western Studios in London before establishing my own in studio Chiswick in 2007.
In 2010 I was shortlisted for the John Moores Art Prize, and in 2014 I was selected for the Royal Academy’s Summer Exhibition. Since 2015 I have worked on a number of private commissions. I have also been showcasing my work as part of Artists at Home in Chiswick since 2008.”
