Richard Wright

Richard Wright is a Scottish artist best known for his intricate, site-specific wall paintings that are often created directly onto gallery or architectural surfaces and then painted over at the end of an exhibition. His work draws on a vast range of historical references including Gothic ornament, Baroque decoration, and psychedelic imagery, rendered with extraordinary technical precision. Wright was awarded the Turner Prize in 2009, cementing his international reputation as one of the most significant painters working today.
