Project Space. Richard Wright paints directly onto the walls of the gallery where his work has a subtle and intimate dialogue with its architectural surroundings. Wright's work has a short life as at the end of the show it is painted over leaving no trace. This transient and site-specific quality invites questions about aesthetic experience, the value of the handcrafted object and the history of painting.
Project Space
Richard Wright paints directly onto the walls of the gallery where his
work has a subtle and intimate
dialogue with its architectural surroundings.
Using a range of
improvised motifs drawn from sources
as diverse as illuminated manuscripts, computer graphics and tattoos, he
uses pattern and repetition
to produce delicate freehand designs that heighten the atmosphere and
perception of a room. His
works are produced in situ, often taking several weeks to complete.
Wright's work has a short life as
at the end of the show it is painted over leaving no trace.
This
transient and site-specific quality
invites questions about aesthetic experience, the value of the
handcrafted object and the history of
painting.
