His gallery calls Pryce’s work . . .

a hybrid of fable and parable. Fable where plants, landscapes, forces of nature, inorganic human-made objects, clothing and architecture act as characters; and parable where the figures work with and against the outside world and themselves – Galerie Nicolas Robert, Toronto

Pryce’s paintings involve experimental renderings of people, as well as spaces and objects. “They are rendered using a thin application of oil paint that allows for an atmospheric and watery quality in the painting . . .by a process that often crosses digital media with oil painting, the narrative subject matter exists in a balanced space between fabrication and reality.”
