Stephen Wright Art

American, b. 1962
Stephen Wright (b. 1962, Los Angeles, CA) graduated from California State University, Long Beach, CA, with a degree in graphic design. He has exhibited in galleries across the United States, England, and Turkey, and his work has been acquired by important private and public collectors, including the New Jersey State Museum in Trenton, NJ. Wright’s portraits enable him to explore the complexity of human nature. For the artist, “my work comes simply out of a passion for drawing and painting the figure. I seek unusual viewpoints and perspectives that excite my eye and try to capture that excitement in my work.” In the manner of the British figurative painters, Wright emphasizes the surface of his canvases, manipulating layers of paint and leaving evidence of his brushwork.

The individuals in Stephen Wright’s work confront us visually and psychologically. His paintings tend to transfix. Standing before them, one is drawn in by the intent gaze of a woman, the slumped figure of a nude man, or the averted face of someone lost in reverie. Wright paints mainly solo subjects. They seem always to be slightly removed – yet they challenge, perplex, and attract us. In the manner of the British figurative painters, Wright emphasizes the surface of his canvases, manipulating layers of paint and leaving evidence of his brushwork.
