In her most recent series, Grand Illusions, Grace Wright continues to push the boundaries of her distinct gestural language. Within these works, through layers of acrylic paint, passages of bare canvas, and refined, intuitive brushwork, Wright creates multi-planar compositions that give a sense of impressive depth, stretching back from the picture plane. Although, as in previous work, Wright incorporates such Baroque elements as strong diagonal lines, dynamism and chiaroscuro, her latest inquiries also take learnings from quantum physics, seeking to broaden our limited, instinctive understanding of time and space, and foster a sense of awe at the invisible forces around us.
