Vending Machine: A Pop-Up
C Price’s work cycles between dimensions – from vectors and animated gifs, oil paintings on rectangular canvas, paper collage, shallow constructions and reliefs to shadow casting mixed-media wall sculptures and full blown (but small scale) wooden block sculptures. This show will display a slice of this artist’s body of work over the last number of years as it moves on and off the wall.
 CP’s work is both a visual party and a metaphysical one. Figured from a language of minimalist distillations, material properties, vivid color relationships and concrete arrangeable parts, the artist’s working process is echoed by its tendency to inspire puzzle reading, shrine rearranging and tuning into space via geometry and color fields.
 A sharp black drip cut out of wood burrows flatly into its precisely fitted white den, a pale line dips into the past layers of paint and has a sip of blue gradient, a ball attaches itself to the ledge of a leaning square. In groups, the block populations start to socialize – they would like to meet you on August 7th.

This image is from a walk down the beach in Eureka CA in 2005. It keeps coming up in the mind this week. This loose horse came running from the hills. The baby and his dad are strangers.

“Mind if I photograph this?”
“Sure, I’ll start over.”
This is my drawing – and this observant blogger discovered
something interesting enough:
She says:
1 _ art by courtney price. her works are available at rectangular objects.
via what she has found.
2 _ stella mccartney brigitte dress, detail. available at stella mccartey.
3 _ the dress and the artwork (flipped verically) side by side.
whether or not the designer was really inspired by this artwork, i don’t know
(i personally think she was), but i kinda think that this kind of
“stealing” is rather legitimate in design… i mean transforming
a work of art into a dress or design.
i remember when i was much younger and drew dresses for fun
(well, i still do) i would use all kinds of things for transforming them into
dresses. think furniture, ceramics, buildings or jewelry.
what’s your opinion? i’m curious.
