Shattered Mirror Sunset Reflections That Look Like Stained Glass Windows
Broken Mirror/Evening Sky is the newest series from New York based artist Bing Wright. This new body of work marks Wright’s first return to color photography in almost a decade. Bing recently completed a solo exhibition at the Paula Cooper Gallery in New York City; he is also represented by the James Harris Gallery in Seattle who describes the latest series:
Wright photographs sunsets, then projects the images onto mirrors he has broken in the studio. The mirrors are small, measuring just 14 x 11 inches. The artist re-photographs the reflection and then enlarges the image into a large scale format. This beautiful series incorporates Wright’s recurring themes of abstraction and representation – a contrast he masterfully balances by grounding these shards of images into a bold structure. [source]
Wright was born in Seattle in 1958 and received a Bachelor of Arts in Art History from Columbia University, New York. His work been exhibited at numerous galleries and can be found in several public collections including: The Museum of Modern Art, the Portland Art Museum, the Seattle Art Museum, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase Bank, and Citigroup.
Wright recently curated an exhibition of 1970s photography from the collection of the Washington Art Consortium. Select works are available by the James Harris Gallery and Paula Cooper Gallery.
