ARTIST LINDSEY PRICE
Lindsey
Price
b. 1992, Boston · BFA CalArts · studio in the LA Arts District
Her collage paintings imagine a visual paradise that centres women in retrofuturism dreamscapes. She sources images from vintage magazines and combines them with painting and resin, reflecting on the past to reimagine how society might have been shaped into a matriarchal future.
Lindsey Price was raised in Boston, Massachusetts, and studied at an all-girls boarding school in Wellesley. She received her BFA in Photography and Digital Media from the California Institute of the Arts. She currently lives in Los Angeles, California, and works at her studio downtown in the Arts District. Her current practice concentrates on collage, painting, design and animation.
Architecture, the divine feminine, and unlimited possibilities.
“I am inspired by architecture, free-form design, fashion, travelling, and the divine feminine. My work features various moods and energies that reflect my desires, fantasies and dreams from around the world. I want to challenge viewers with thought-provoking images to see a new reality with unlimited possibilities.”
Digital first, then physical. Paint meets paper meets resin.
“I compose all of my pieces digitally, and I execute them physically. I mix paint with paper cutouts to create my physical compositions. My works are compiled on a wood base and sealed with resin. I am constantly experimenting with new techniques such as resin painting, laser cutting different materials, and pushing the bounds of my aesthetic.”
“I collect old magazines from various decades and scan images to create my collages. I sometimes reference images online, using my photographs in my collages. In between, I do a lot of photo manipulation, illustration and painting to create my compositions.”
A bright, colourful place filled with love and intuitive energy.
“That future I envision, not only for myself but the entire world, looks like a bright, colourful place filled with love and intuitive energy that explores creation and transformation. A future where men and women are treated as equals. An exploration of the divine concept where women have choice, control and power. A place where we can all find beauty and diversity in the unexpected.”
“I want to challenge viewers with thought-provoking images to see a new reality with unlimited possibilities.”
“I have always been a digital artist. I started making digital collages my first year in college. Back then there was no such thing as an NFT. Most of my digital art I ended up using for graphic design purposes, such as album covers and posters. NFTs allow me to make my visions come to life on an entirely different level. I can print my work on a wide range of surfaces, project it on different platforms, and use it for social media content. It is a great way for digital artists to earn an income and to show art in a new transformative way.”
“I look up to artists who are challenging the art world today, such as Lionel Williams, Refik Anadol, Sebastian Wahl, Sarah Sze, Tom Wesselmann, Esther Janssen, Alejandro Cardenas, Tishk Barzanji, Zhuang Hong Yi and many more.”
“For me, wellbeing means feeling happy and comfortable in my skin. I exercise daily. I grew up dancing, and I continue to take classes every week. I also practice yoga which helps me recover from the intense cardio. Aside from being an artist, I also consider myself an athlete, and without exercise, I would not be where I am today. Pushing my mind and body has increased my stamina in everything that applies to my lifestyle.”
