British sculptor Thomas J. Price (born London, 1981) lives and works in London, where he studied at the Royal College of Art. He is known for his large bronze sculptures of imaginary characters he calls "everymen" and "everywomen." With his pioneering work across various media—including sculpture, performance, photography, and animation—Price continually pushes the boundaries of material, scale, and presentation. In his sculptures, Price is concerned with recognition in contemporary society and confronts us with stereotypes surrounding representation and identity in traditional sculpture. Themes such as power, representation, interpretation, and perception in society and the art world play a significant role in his work. He aims to dismantle the power structures that perpetuate traditional sculpture and consciously chooses to create imaginary characters. His sculptures are created by combining classical sculpture and new digital technology. Despite their scale, the sculptures appear modest and instantly recognizable, inviting us to reflect on how we collectively occupy space. He has had solo exhibitions at the National Portrait Gallery in London, the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, and The Power Plant in Toronto. In the fall of 2024, he had a solo exhibition at Kunsthal Rotterdam.
