Neill Wright
What I Remember The Most

2022

About the Item

Neill Wright is a multidisciplinary artist based in Johannesburg, South Africa. His satirical work braves the world of social commentary in a bold, colorful and humorous manner. Wright explores various mediums, such as sculpture, printmaking, and painting as modes of expression, drawing inspiration from the interconnected worlds of media, popular culture, politics, and societal interactions in an attempt to create panoramic views of current issues, hardships, complexities, and paradoxes present within South African and to some extent African society as a whole. Through highlighting the absurdities of a collectively experienced ‘everyday’, his work subverts the tragic, placing the viewer in a space where they are confronted by opposing feelings: the melancholic reality and the ironic hilarity of his compositions. In 2007, Neill graduated with distinction with the degree of Bachelor of Arts in Fine Art (Honours), at the Michaelis School of Fine Art, University of Cape Town, where he was co-awarded the Simon Gerson Prize for an outstanding body of work. In 2009, he graduated with a Postgraduate Diploma in Fine Art, majoring in printmaking. In 2013, Wright was named one of the ten emerging South African artists to watch by The Times, and he has exhibited in a number of group and solo shows as well as at numerous South African and International Art fairs. His works are housed in private collections in Europe, the United States, Australia, and South Africa.

  • Caught In A Web
    By Paul Ecke
    Located in Miami, FL
    Vintage comic books and mixed media on panel Paul Ecke is a mid-career painter of contemporary non-figurative and figurative works on canvas and panel. His works are an amalgam of color, texture, and movement achieved through the application of oil and acrylic paints to canvas, all applied by brush, hand, and even trowel. The results are magnificent, colorful, thought and emotion-provoking images that convey the inner strength, conviction, and complexity of the artist. Paul Ecke was educated at California State University, Fullerton, receiving degrees in art with an emphasis in ceramic arts and painting. His classical training taught him to represent the human form. His skill as a ceramicist affects his paintings, giving them a three-dimensional quality through the application of textural media to his works on canvas. Ecke with his newest series “Comic Strip” can be described as a means of creating laughter and nostalgia. The collection is intended to engage the viewer in conversation. The heroes and villains in the different comic strips create magical fantasies that are rhetorical exaggerations. For decades, scholars have been making the connection between the design of the superhero story and the mythology of the ancient folktale. The comics become epic storytelling. The artist has created works of art that are a combination of vintage comic collaging, texture, and paint. Ecke's works are in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Manila, Philippines and the Daytona Florida Museum of Arts and Science. He has shown in galleries in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Diego, Palm Springs, Florida, the Philippines and Bali, Indonesia. His works are in many private and corporate collections including those of Universal Studios, Jimmy Z Sportswear, Taco Bell, Flojet Corporation, Carsey Warner Productions and Dionne Warwick...
