The Wright Stuff

A Guest Post from Galerie Luz that makes me think about Worn journal…

“I am interested by the relationship of materials to experience,” says Toronto artist Max Wright about the subjects implicated in his mixed media abstract paintings, believing that such experiences are revealed, and thus explored, via an intense focus on the natural or unnatural wear that materials incur.

Each of Max Wright’s paintings, I must add, is an experience in its own right.

After last summer’s Montreal debut for this evocative artist at Galerie Espace, Wright has come back for more with another solo exhibit, entitled Residual Substance, on right now through October 27th at Galerie Luz.

“The paintings in Residual Substance are part of a continuous and evolving body of work in which I have been exploring the space of emotional/logical conflict,” the process of which is also infused with conflict, as of that between the representational and the abstract, the formal and the unstable, the deliberate and the impulsive, the bold and the worn, the visual and the visceral. As the exhibition’s title intelligently implies, the final products are but a residue of this continuous process.
