Richard Wright, 'Stairwell Project'


I went to see Richard Wright's installation at the Dean Gallery, as I was interested to see how he deals with making a work for a stairwell.


He said that he wanted to affect the way in which the viewer moves through the space, and in the case of this work, it makes the viewer look up to the domed ceiling, where Wright has painted lots of small black organic looking shapes.


I have never seen any of his work before and was surprised how subtle it is... I was expecting something a bit more punchy. I liked the work, but it didn't affect me strongly. It did make me take notice of the ceiling though, which maybe is enough.
