Where The Light Gets In: Neil Wright Spotlight Exhibition
65 x 65 x 5.1 cm
“I intended to create a collision of worlds on the canvas. The first being digital, transient, manipulated and geographically impossible which collapses space and distance, hinting at volatility and chaos. The second world is beautiful, energetic and marked by abstraction, a place in which to get lost,” Neil Wright
Carousel Fine Art was honored to host the exciting exhibition, "Where the Light Gets In," with the multidisciplinary artist Neill Wright during his US Tour. Exhibiting in Miami on March 16th at Carousel Fine Art the exhibit ran through April 11th, 2023.
“WHERE THE LIGHT GETS IN” FEATURES ABSTRACT AND REPRESENTATIONAL ELEMENTS THAT COEXIST IN AN UNORTHODOX HARMONY.
“The current global situation is fraught with anxiety and stress so I wanted this body of work to be a complete escape from that. Take my affection for and curiosity with the natural world and through my hundreds of images of it, sample, collage, redraw, simplify and essentially compose new landscapes in which abstract and representational elements co-exist in what I hope is an unorthodox harmony without boundary and still moving,” Neil Wright

(DALLAS-MIAMI) March 9, 2023– Markowicz Fine Art and Carousel Fine Art are pleased to announce an exciting new exhibition with the multidisciplinary artist Neill Wright during his US Tour.
“Where The Light Gets In” features abstract and representational elements that coexist in an unorthodox harmony. “I intended to create a collision of worlds on the canvas. The first being digital, transient, manipulated and geographically impossible which collapses space and distance, hinting at volatility and chaos. The second world is beautiful, energetic and marked by abstraction, a place in which to get lost.” - Neill Wright

Neill Wright is a multidisciplinary artist based in Johannesburg, South Africa. He explores various mediums, such as sculpture, printmaking and painting as modes of expression, drawing inspiration from a variety of sources within his lived experience. The bold, multi-layered and colorful work speaks to a curiosity about and affection for the natural world while the geographically impossible mashups hint at the chaos of everyday life. Abstract and representational elements co-exist in a seductive yet menacing way suggestive of both the exultation and terror present in the unknown and unexplored.
The opening reception for Neill Wright’s “Where The Light Gets In” will take place at Markowicz Fine Art in Dallas on Thursday, March 9th, and then in Miami a week later on Thursday, March 16th at Carousel Fine Art. Both exhibits will run through April 11th, 2023.
