Moments In The Sun - New Paintings by Eric Price
THIS SHOW IS SOLD OUT

Eric Price is a gifted plein-air painter who grew up surrounded by the beauty of the outdoors and found solace in hiking, swimming, and sailing. This connection with nature allowed him to come to terms with his queer identity and influences the themes and subjects of his art. Price has been inspired by the beauty of the beach and power of the ocean.

Price's art, set against the backdrop of Provincetown, captures the unbridled freedom and visibility embraced by the queer community, a sanctuary where kinship flourishes.

In his forthcoming exhibition, opening on June 14, 2024, Price weaves inspiration from cherished works of art, many imbued with queer themes. "Evasion Redux," a homage to Jared French's "Evasion," portrays the tumultuous dance between self-acceptance and societal expectations, positioning the figure within a haven of queer solace. "First Timers" reveals three young men, bravely and provocatively exploring their sexuality publicly for the first time, basking in the glow of the sun and newfound liberation. In "Who Wants to Play," a young man uncovers enchantment by the shore.

Eric Price holds an MFA from the New York Academy of Art and finds inspiration in artists like Henry Scott Tuke, John Koch, and the American Impressionists. A career in book publishing, working with authors like Larry Kramer and Harold Pinter, only reinforced his innate and bewitching sense of story.

Eric Price is represented exclusively by Greg Salvatori Gallery.
