Paintings by Eric Wright

Exhibition catalogue for Ohio Lands: Heap of Testimony, an exhibition at The Horse Hospital by artist Eric Wright.

In Autumn 2020, we are delighted to be hosting an exhibition of paintings by Eric Wright. Saturated with recycled tropes and styles of ‘the American weird’ as well as traditional landscape painting and a particular folk-tinted post-modernism, there are over 50 paintings: strange landscapes intensely revisited by a London-based artist playing memory games with his hometown, the prophetically named Mt. Gilead, Ohio.

Born Mt. Gilead, Ohio, Wright lived in NY in the 1980s where his painting techniques were influenced by the TV maestro Bob Ross. His work has been curated by Paul Noble at City Racing Gallery, Stephen Friedman Gallery (London UK) and Hans-Ulrich Obrist’s ‘Life/Live’ at the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris (Paris, FR). Collaborative exhibitions with Cathy Ward include PS1/MoMA (NY USA); ‘Transromantik’, Chamber of Pop Culture, The Horse Hospital (London UK); Mercer Union (Toronto CA); ‘Destiny Manifest’ at Southwark Park Galleries (London UK) and ‘Tender Vessels’ at Aspex Gallery (Portsmouth UK). His landscapes and portraits of country and western stars are found in collections in Europe and Nashville including that of George Jones. This will be Wright’s second show at The Horse Hospital, London’s longest-running underground gallery.
