Amy Wright, an Australian artist, brings forth paintings that unfold like a rich tapestry of botanical abundance, intricately woven into the essence of overgrown gardens. Given her affinity for these lush landscapes, it comes as no surprise that, for Amy, the world of art begins and concludes with the intricate beauty of flowers.
Wright's artistic approach involves a harmonious marriage of keen observational skills, akin to the precision required for botanical illustration, and a more relaxed form of observational drawing that accentuates texture, colour, and collage, contributing to her distinctive decorative style.
The viewer's gaze experiences a constant dance across the canvas—traversing from one succulent patch of foliage to another, suspended without finding a definitive resting place. This deliberate visual journey fosters a sense of suspension, inviting the audience to linger in the intricate details of her work. The predominant warm colour palette she employs evokes the flushed putty tones reminiscent of the Bloomsbury Group painters, Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant.
Wright's paintings are characterized by the form of pattern, a motif that finds resonance in works like 'A World Beyond.' This aspect of her art brings to mind the post-impressionist canvases of Edouard Vuillard, who drew inspiration from Hokusai and the flat pictorial space seen in Japanese woodblock printing. Amy's appreciation for fragmented textile surfaces transforms her paintings into intricate jigsaw puzzles—baroque landscapes that echo earthly delights. In this fusion of influences and techniques, Amy Wright's art, rooted in her Australian identity, becomes a visual narrative that captivates, intrigues, and pays homage to a rich tradition in art history.
