Monte Wright displays work at Minto gallery
HARRISTON – The work of internationally-recognized artist Monte Wright will be on display at the Minto Arts Gallery until March 30.
The display was set to open with an artists reception from 6 to 8pm on March 7 at the gallery, located on the third floor of the Harriston Library at 88 Mill Street.
Wright, a Kitchener artist, has shown all over the world, including New York, Italy and England.
Minto Arts Council officials point out Wright’s work is also found in many collections throughout Canada and the United States.
“Since 2000 Monte has been exploring a series of digital landscapes,” states a press release from the council.
“A powerful painter, Monte’s overture places him with the likes of Lucian Freud and Kandinsky. Many of his recent projects are exemplars of Monte’s penchant for monolithic, eccentric, dynamic forms and bursts of emotion. His art is impulsive but not violent and more seductive than confrontational.
“Through all these unique works Monte creates a sense of viewing a new, yet relatable world.”
Wright’s show, titled Abstractions, is part of an on-going series of exhibitions hosted at the gallery by the Minto Arts Council.
