This will be the largest institutional solo exhibition in the UK for more than 20 years of the work of British artist and Turner Prize winner Richard Wright (b. 1960, London, UK). Known primarily for his site-specific and ephemeral wall-based paintings, the exhibition will also include new and rarely exhibited works on paper and in sculpture and glass. Wright's work is an active and extended investigation into the material conditions of the physical world. Engaging with both the tangible and immaterial, he opens up spaces which shift and alter our perception, drawing on histories of painting, design, metaphysics, aesthetics, counter-culture and architecture.
About the Artist
Turner Prize winner, Richard Wright is an English installation artist who specialises in site-specific projects where he paints intricate temporary works directly onto gallery walls or ceilings, often in neglected spaces in response to the enclosing architecture.
Camden Art Centre is a place for art and artists; a place for the curious, the novice and the expert alike. It’s a place to see, to make, to learn and to talk about contemporary art, whether in our building, attending off-site projects or via our digital forums.
