Stephen graduated with a degree in graphic design from CalState in LongBeach,CA. He has exhibited across the US and most recently at Gallery Henoch In NY, Subliminal Gallery in Los Angeles and now Exclusive to RJD Gallery.
“My work comes simply out of a passion for drawing and painting the figure. I seek unusual view points and perspectives that excite my eye and try to capture that excitement in my work.”
Wright’s new series, “Celestial Body” Propels the concepts of physical structure and gives material form to some thing abstract. These artworks enable us all an opportunity to leave the current reality of global issues, and to escape through his generous transparent imagination, to a more playful time, and environment. Positioning an introspect of his subject matter that relates to outer space as observed in astronomy.
His use of color is simply other worldly and master full technique offers an escape through his generous transparent imagination.
