About the Item

Natasha Wright's art probes the politics of representation of the female form. Gender, sexuality, vulnerability and power, seduction and aggression - these dualities motivate the dynamics of her work. The painting "STREET OPHELIA", in oil paint on canvas, is a supreme example – erotic and brutally elegant, the cream and rose and tan paint is both background and body, while the black outline of the upside-down nude woman cuts through the entire field. Measuring 60x48" in size, it's an unmistakable statement of desire and dislocation. From Natasha Wright – "The paintings reference the political and the personal. The representation of females throughout history is considered alongside contemporary references. The Venus of Willendorf, Mary Magdalena, The Three Graces and Cardi B are some of my many muses." "STREET OPHELIA" was shown recently at Fresh Paint, a group show at Art of Our Century Gallery in Greenwich Village, New York, from February 27 to March 22, 2020. In May 2017 Natasha earned her Masters of Fine Arts, (Painting) from The New York Studio School. She was awarded The New York Studio School Scholarship, The Jane Chace Carroll Merit Award and the LCU Award. In 2017 she co-founded JMN Artists, a curatorial collaboration and artists’ initiative. Natasha has exhibited in New Zealand, Australia and The United States. Her work has been included in publications such as Harpers Bazaar, Art Critical, The New Zealand Artist Magazine, The Denizen and The New Zealand Herald. Natasha's work is also held in private collections in Australia, New Zealand, The United Kingdom and The United States.

"Man Overboard", oil painting, figurative, man, woman, bikini, recline, gaze
Located in Toronto, Ontario
"Man Overboard" is an oil painting with chalk and graphite on wood panel, and measures 16" high by 12" wide. It is finished with a clear resin across the surface, lending the artwork a particular warmth and liquidity that is rare and lovely to behold. Typical of the artist, the painting is a mystery despite its apparent simplicity – a woman wearing part of her bikini stretches out beside a pool or body of water, while another figure hovers nearby. The title Man Overboard would suggest the woman's pose and partial nudity have completely derailed the man's intentions – perhaps driven him to distraction. Note the restrained color palette, the subtle toning of the wood surface, the bodies rendered and bodies suggested. The surface is very interesting – drawn lines and painterly brushstrokes to be sure, but also the toned wood coming through as color and texture. All of it held, as if in time, by the resin layer acting as a lens to both transmit this picture and admit light to the picture. A true artifact. From Will Hudson...

"Outskirts", acrylic painting, duality, nature, humanity, chaos, dream, myth
Located in Toronto, Ontario
"Outskirts" is an acrylic painting with collage elements on canvas, measuring 38" high by 44" wide. There's nowhere to hide in any of William's paintings, that's part of the charge coming off his canvases. That's particularly true with this painting – we immediately see that everything is wrong, hands coming out of trees, a human head on a horse or dog. Yes it's Mythic but even there it's wrong, the legs are impossibly crossed. In fact little of this painting can be true and yet here it is. Out of control, left over and residual ways and means of living life. Who or what are we now? Press Release 2018: "Williams acknowledges a large range of influences on his vision: the moral lessons embodied in the works of 17th century engraver Jacques Lagniet, the darkling phantasms and tragic reportage of Goya’s Caprichos...
