British artist Thomas J Price presents two significant works in New York, including a monumental sculpture in Times Square and a solo exhibition at Hauser & Wirth. His 12-foot installation, Grounded in the Stars, features a composite figure symbolizing collective identity rather than an individual, inviting reflection on who is honored in public art. The accompanying exhibit, Resilience of Scale, continues this theme with five bronzes celebrating everyday people, thereby questioning traditional artistic hierarchies. Price's artworks aim to amplify marginalized voices and redefine the concept of heroism, reinforced through the emotional depth of their representations.
Grounded in the Stars highlights the theme of identity and representation in public spaces, encouraging dialogue about who deserves to be memorialized through art.
Through subtle grace and familiarity, Price's sculptures challenge traditional ideals of heroism and stature, representing marginalized voices, and redefining triumph in contemporary art.
