Career
Narbi Price is a 2012 prize winner in the John Moore's Painting Prize,[4] 2017 winner of the Contemporary British Painting Prize[5] and Visual Artist of the Year at The Journal Culture Awards 2018.[6] [7] Artist Jo Vickers wrote of Price's paintings, "At first look, his photorealistic paintings are demonstrations of clear technical ability, albeit with unconventional subject matter. But Narbi’s processes, techniques and motivation give the paintings an air of defiance that suggests that the artist is painting primarily for himself, which ironically, might be the key to their popularity".
Critic Matthew Collings wrote that Price's work "appears photographic but up close it jumps into a completely different dimension, becoming dancing loose dots and blips, free of any representation whatsoever."[8]
In 2018 Price curated an exhibition of unseen Pitmen Painters works at Woodhorn Museum, Ashington, Northumberland, UK.[9] He is a member of Contemporary British Painting[10]
