Harry Cory Wright is a multidisciplinary artist. Essentially famed for his photography, the last ten years have seen Cory Wright exploring landscape through graphite, ink, watercolour and, most recently, reliefs made up of painted panels. The journey, and retrospectively, the connection between these different mediums, is what fascinates the artist and sees his style and use of medium continually evolving.

“Sometimes I see these applied works as opposite to the photography; their abstraction versus the ‘literal total visual’ capabilities of the big camera. Increasingly, they run together. If I  juxtapose a photograph with a drawing, relief, watercolour or words, I am interested in how they inform each other, and their correlations. The real beside the imagined.”

Of the watercolours shown here, Cory Wright explains how the simple, single gestures of watercolour offer an abstract framework within which detail elements of pencil provide compositional links that delight the eye whilst echoing motifs of traditional landscape painting. Meanwhile, the painted panels offer a substance to a theme that is at the heart of Cory Wright’s work: the sense of place.  His work is an evocation of a place, be it the salt marsh, the estuary, the river, the ruins, the woodland near to where he was brought up or the fields near where he lives now. What it once may have been, what it might become. The imagined; drawn upon what Cory Wright sees and the feeling it provokes. Born in London in 1963, Harry Cory Wright lives in North Norfolk. Harry’s photography is represented by Eleven Fine Art, with whom he has exhibited widely and published many books.
