Afternoon Glow
Conte, dry pastel, acrylic on canvas
In early spring, Amy Wright’s studio is surrounded by a garden that transforms into a wilderness. Pear, almond, and cherry trees explode with blossoms, their petals swirling in the air like snowflakes, while vibrant flowers and wild green shoots emerge overnight. Rain showers drench the garden, stirring up a tangle of leaves, stems, and blooms in a colorful, textured, and deeply scented world that engulfs the senses with its visceral energy.
In this collection, Wright captures the essence of spring’s exuberant growth. Each painting is alive with the colors, patterns, and textures of her surroundings, as if the garden’s vitality reverberates across the canvas. The newness, wildness, and heady sensations of the season are woven into each piece, inviting the viewer to step into this lush, untamed world and experience the beauty of nature in full bloom.
In Wrights Words:
My process starts with laying down shapes that are suggestive of silhouettes, often in unexpected scale, on a surface of diluted color. This ghost-like backdrop is the initial structure from which the painting develops. Similar to viewing a garden - looking upon one area and moving your eye across - certain details capture your focus and your eyes ‘dance’ around the space. In a similar way I create my artworks; with no plan, they are free to ‘grow’ across the surface. I respond to the silhouette background, and working with a limited palette of acrylics, I paint - or rather draw with a paintbrush- directly into layers of dry pastel. This method creates an immediacy and forces line work to be irreplicable. The mediums interact to force a uniqueness of mark making. Charcoal and graphite are quickly and expressively applied, before, with a similar gusto, the mediums are removed or worked back into, to alter their appearance.
I instinctively work big, as the act of creating the artwork is a whole body act. I think of the process as being akin to writing a narrative or a musical score. There is a beginning, a middle and an end. I will often work on several pieces around the studio walls at one time, fluidly moving from canvas to canvas, so that when all the walls are covered and paintings completed there feels to be a garden growing out from the walls.

“I am inspired by the untamed, often overlooked and abandoned landscapes where nature is allowed to flourish unchecked, reclaiming its space from human interventions.”
