In “The Moon Was But A Chin Of Gold” (2025), Stephen Price departs from figuration to offer an expansive landscape steeped in blues and nocturnal quiet. The absence of human figures marks a pivotal moment in the artist’s evolution, where the natural world breathes with full presence. Inspired by both romantic landscape traditions and the luminous tones of African modernism, this oil, charcoal, acrylic, and pastel composition invites the viewer into a suspended realm, where a glowing moon becomes the only marker of time. This canvas reveals Price’s mastery in creating emotional atmospheres through colour, texture, and scale — a world where stillness becomes sacred.
