For Ferguson, With Love By Lucas Price

Lucas Price blends the traditional and the modern, merging contemporary photorealism with Baroque styles and religious iconography. His work centres around the still life, exploring the possibilities of a single snapshot, within which is contained both beauty and decay, chaos and harmony, abstraction and figuration. 'For Ferguson, With Love' depicts a chromium fire extinguisher, emblazoned with the word 'savages'. As the camera flash bounces off the metal surface of the device, we are reminded of the breathtaking skill of Price's photorealist technique, and his ability to capture the mundane and the everyday with astonishing artistic sensitivity.
