Richard Wright is a British artist known for intricate abstract wall paintings that respond intuitively to their surroundings. His artworks, which can be temporary or permanent, are designed to engage with specific architectural features. A notable example is the gold leaf installation at Tottenham Court Road station. With numerous prestigious exhibitions and a Turner Prize win under his belt, his latest show at Camden Art Centre marks a significant return to institutional showcasing. Wright aims for his new work to harmonize with the space and reflect personal history, creating a dialogue between art and architecture.
Wright's works are always unique and made in direct response to their setting, with an approach that intertwines the building's characteristics and his personal history.
Richard Wright emphasizes that the light of a space triggers his creative process, as he seeks to blend his work with the architecture.
His wall paintings often have a brief lifetime, intentionally made to be viewed uniquely before being painted over or transformed into new works.
Wright's exhibition at Camden Art Centre is notable as his largest institutional show in the UK for over two decades and showcases his evolving artistic vision.
