Stephen Wright Paintings
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.to

CATHERINE 6 - Contemporary Realism / Figurative Art / Blonde
By Stephen Wright
Located in New York, NY
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. Like Lucian Freud and Francis Bacon, and even Jenny Saville...

By Kim Whitesides
Located in Salt Lake City, UT
"Approach to Lee's Ferry" by Kim Whitesides, oil on canvas, 18 X 22 inches (Framed size: 21.5 x 25.5 inches)
Whitesides made an impact in the art community at a very young age. While working as an illustrator in New York City from the late 60s through the mid 80s, his paintings appeared in many publications, including Time Magazine, Rolling Stone and Playboy. He received numerous awards from The Art Directors Club of New York and The Society of Illustrators. It was at this time that Whitesides began a period of bold work with the airbrush that emphasized the simplified spaces and clean lines of art deco and art moderne, for which he gained a national reputation.
A native Utahn, Whitesides believes art is a language and an opportunity for his vision to inspire others. He continues to grow as an artist, as his art is constantly opening doors on new vistas...
