Lithograph with screenprint on Rives BFK White paper.
'Living with Rocks from the Artist for Obama Portfolio' by Ken Price is a mixed media work from 2008, measuring 35.6 × 35.6 cm, from a hand-numbered edition of 150. A lone recreational vehicle sits on a ridge at the centre of the composition, its lit windows glowing white against a fiery gradient sky that shifts from deep charcoal through burnt red to vivid amber. Below, an undulating foreground of rounded, shadow-heavy forms in dusty pink fills the lower two-thirds of the image — unmistakably geological in character, echoing the biomorphic, bulging shapes that define Price's ceramic practice. The jagged black mountain silhouettes flanking the vehicle are rendered with the same flat, high-contrast graphic treatment. Price contributed this print to the 2008 'Artists for Obama' portfolio, a collective project marking Barack Obama's first presidential campaign. The geological subject matter connects directly to Price's long-standing fascination with rock formations and sliced mineral forms.
Ken Price (USA, 1935–2012) was a celebrated sculptor and ceramicist renowned for his vibrant, biomorphic forms. Blurring the boundaries between fine art and craft, his works often featured richly textured surfaces and vivid colors. Price’s pioneering approach to ceramics transformed perceptions of the medium and influenced generations of artists.
