- Mark Wright, from Toxic Wastelands Series
A strangely serene beauty exudes from the putrid destruction and decay of Mark Wright's chaotic paintings. Drawing from ancient folklore, poetry and the dischord of '60s radical thinking, Wright creates chilling, petrified scenarios that reflect on our current anxieties about the future. Dante and Thomas Moore inform the unattainable utopia that the artist seeks to deconstruct in these paintings, which allegorise mankind's current drive to destroy, rather than replenish, the natural resources that fuel our modern lives. Although Wright's ficticious landscapes, rendered with near-photographic precision, burst with flourishes of colour, they remain static allusions to a foregone conclusion.
