Amy Wright

get to know Amy Wright

Australian artist Amy Wright is a prolific multidisciplinary artist with a diverse background in painting and drawing, surface pattern design and floral artistry. Wright has a preoccupation with capturing abandon landscapes; the discarded, ignored and untamed. Each canvas is it’s own Wunderkammer, holding a world that morphs reality with imagination and myth; plants are depicted wildly and landscapes are tiered and towering with obscured horizon lines.

Wright works in mixed media - predominately oil, acrylic and prismacolour pencil - and her painting methodology is reminiscent to that of collage, where the whole is made up of cropped fragments, where she playfully toys with the idea of hiding and revealing. Pattern, shape, texture and colour are core to her practice and are used to create a sensory narrative of the landscape.

Amy works from her garden studio, where she lives in a small regional township, close to the Bellarine Peninsula in Victoria.
