Wright, who was raised in Denver, moved away for a bit to hone his education and then returned, eventually settling near Salida. He has developed a technique for his large-scale, two-dimensional works that is technically forward while retaining a distinctly hand-made feel. But Wright is not just doing photo reproductions here. These blocks of color do not always line up with the photos, leaving things a bit murky for the viewer; the colors feel exaggerated, encouraging viewers to look at them as more than documents of the past.
It’s always dangerous territory when an artist takes on the topic of a current tragedy, and many times artists fail. Works can feel rushed and overly sentimental or dramatic; personally indulgent rather than resonant to a whole community. Art takes more time to make than these situations generally allow.
