Thomas J. Price is known for his commanding figurative sculptures that challenge traditional narratives
of monumentality and representation. His work often features anonymous black rendered at an imposing scale,
inviting a reconsideration of who is typically deemed worthy of public commemoration.
In Reaching Out, a young woman stands absorbed in her cell phone, seemingly unaware of her own monumentality
presence. Dressed casually, she stands in quiet contrast to conventional bronze statues, which often depict historical
figures in stylized poses of power or prestige.
Price's sculptures are informed by real people, yet they remain deliberately unnamed. This choice creates space for
broader reflection on visibility, individuality, and societal expectations.
