John Wright
John's practice delves into the realm between Art and science, with a specific focus on the interplay between an 'event' and its subsequent reconstruction within gallery spaces.
Exploring the concept of time as a malleable dimension, John captures and portrays it to viewers in his work. Influenced by the dramatic chiaroscuro contrasts of the European Renaissance and Baroque movements, his installations utilize light and occasionally sound to create a sense of drama
The fusion of old and new is evident in his use of geometry, drawing inspiration from Ancient Greek and Egyptian art's elemental shapes of spheres and cubes.
John's work also questions the role of documentation in contemporary art, contemplating its relevance in the era of trans-media narratives and rapid technological advancements.
Inspired by the emerging paradigm of Critical Realism, John views theory and practical art creation as interconnected aspects and pursues this direction through critical writing and physical artworks.
