Ken Price – Living with Rocks from the Artist for Obama Portfolio, 2008 – Mixed Media

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.
