To accomplish a complex painterly language that lies between figuration and abstraction, Mark Wright begins with carefully selected support materials such as paper, wood panels, canvas, linen and flax. For the studies on paper the artist uses gouache, ink, watercolour, and acrylic, described as a place between abstraction and figuration "alluding to landscapes that fuse the imaginary, primary and secondary (mediated) images and a painterly-digital aesthetic."
Recent visits to Norway have allowed a new way of looking at nature. In Wright's incandescent paintings, the convergence of landscape, an awareness of our fraught relationship with the digital world, artistic process, and imagination create a masterful body of work that exists as a reverie of abstract beauty.
