EVEWRIGHT - Shortlisted The Young Masters Art Prize 2014

Inspired by one of the great 20th Century impressionist artists, Paul Klee, Everton Wright’s (Evewright) work expands upon Klee’s notion of ‘taking a line for a walk’, by pushing drawing into innovative and daring dimensions. His on-going project, Walking Drawings is a contemporary artwork that resonates with classical ideas around how art is made but also re-evaluates the meaning of space and how that connects with modern drawing and mark making.  For centuries drawing and mark making has been a catalyst for recording all human endeavours, rituals and life experiences, starting from Aboriginal cave paintings in Australia, Nazca lines in Peru to Leonardo da Vinci’s Virgin and Child and Richard Long’s landscape works. Evewright’s work pays homage to the skills and tradition of the past whilst his methods embrace contemporary mediums including film, video and sound.
