Lucas Price

Bio

Lucas Price aka “Cyclops,” is a self-taught painter who honed his style on the streets as a member of London’s Burning Candy graffiti crew. His work put him in high demand with collectors, and helped him become one of the few artists with no formal training to ever be admitted into the UK’s prestigious Royal College of Arts MFA painting course. Since, he has exhibited at the Tate Modern as part of their exhibition ‘Art on the Street’ and, in 2015, appeared in Bonhams’ contemporary auction.

His work brings together image and typography often in a photorealistic style, to explore the relationship between language and visual culture, and the power of art as a fundamental tool of communication.
