Mr. Price's work has been collected internationally with works in several museum collections.

"If the space of a painting embodies the conceptual space of a cultural era these works looks to produce spatial paradoxes and contradictions within a complex space of multiple forces.Complexity is the study of emergent phenomena focused on the system of forces, both physical and non-physical, interacting in multiple ways to produce sensations, perceptions, and concepts. Paintings are bodies understood as both producing and being produced by those forces.

These paintings began with a compositional structure derived by overlapping a flat ornamental pattern with the same pattern in perspective mashing up different (opposing?) kinds of painting spaces to produce complexity. This compositional strategy provides a structural force that brings together a multiplicity forces in a relational field that are more than the sum of there parts."
