Art Price, “Happiness Is Where You Find It,” Ottawa, 1973, no. 162, reproduced
Created in the 1960s to experiment with colour, figure and process, “My Four Loves” is an example of the diverse multi disciplinary practice of Arthur 'Art' Price. Wet pigments were poured onto the flat supporting board to create biomorphic forms in the four corners of the work. Price was testing the limitations of mediums through experimentation while exploring the malleability of the medium. Depth and sensuous red colouring is achieved through the artists process. The work was part a series of experimental body of works rather than a commissioned piece which offers a glimpse into the personal artistic interests of the artist.
