New Works by Bret Price

SANTA FE, NM. Owen Contemporary is delighted to announce Physics and Magic,

an exhibition featuring new works by California sculptor Bret Price.

Bret Price is a contemporary sculptor of steel. Price creates a sense of softness in his sculpture by building heating chambers around large pieces of steel to manipulate the metal. The variables of intense heat, size and shape of the raw material produce a wide range of results with a degree of unpredictability. Using intuitive creativity, Bret is able to form elegant abstractions in vibrant motion and color. Whether the work is large or small scale, his focus is to convey an unexpected sense of movement and balance.

Bret Price lives and works in Orange County California and spends  part of the year working out of a sculpture farm in Ohio.

Educated at Pomona College and Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles, Price received his MFA from the California Institute of Arts. He has exhibited in distinguished galleries from New York to Hawaii and his work is in the collections of Smithsonian Museum of American Art,

the Dayton Art Institute in OH, the Laguna Beach Museum of Art in CA and the Toyota Corporation in Chicago, IL. He maintains studios in Southern California and Ohio for his large-scale pieces.
