David Wright : Prints & Paintings
David Wright is best known as one of the world’s leading glass artists, yet a lesser known facet of his artistic practice is the drawings, prints and paintings on paper that have derived from frequent journeys to remote places around Australia over more than 40 years. Shown for the first time, this substantial body of paintings, hand coloured and black and white linocuts capture – with insight, sensitivity and wit – both the majestic beauty and patterns of fragile existence of the flora, fauna and the many differing countries of outback Australia as well as the ‘crystal desert’ of Antarctica.
