Press Release

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

Richard Wright is a Turner Prize-winning contemporary artist celebrated for his intricate, site-specific wall paintings that blur the boundaries between artwork and architecture, permanence and transience.
