Stephen Wright Portrait 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.

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...
