B.A (hons) Degree Liverpool , John Moores University 1990 Lived in Thailand since 1995 With the human form the primary With the human form the primary concern of his art, Bangkok resident Welsh artist Nigel Price absorbs imagery from everyday observations. His paintings are a direct response to his immediate environment, as well as an observation of contemporary popular culture. Utilising photographs and drawings from various sources - personal, the Internet and other media - these images go into a manipulated melting pot rendering them distant from the original. Mixing and contrasting seemingly unconnected elements, Price avoids direct narratives leaving his compositions ambiguous for more open-ended interpretations. Yet such ambiguity is loaded with insinuation and innuendo that nudges certain perceptions.
