Carl Wright

CARL WRIGHT — Carl Wright's medium of choice is stone because of its long lasting beauty, its ability to evoke emotion and stability through the tactile feel, and its sweeping design. He sculpts abstract shapes in alabaster, marble and limestone. Carl Wright prefers alabaster because of the color, its workability, and because it is not a homogenous color. “Marble is great for indoors. Limestone is great anywhere“. Abstract stone sculpture conveys different thoughts and emotions to different people making it a good choice to engage the maximum amount of viewers. It is also durable and low maintenance.

Carl Wright has been a full-time artist for 18 years He has participated in three Public Art programs, received a Professional (Artist) Development Grant from the State of WV, and participated in juried museum shows. He is represented by five galleries: one in DC, two in North Carolina, one in West Virginia and one in Arizona. His work resides in homes in Zug, Switzerland, Washington, DC, and Orlando, FL to name a few. One sculpture is in a large pharmaceutical corporate headquarters in Durham, NC.

Stone is a natural choice for Carl’s work because of its ambiguity. His sculpture is characterized by the contrast of the cold hardness of the stone and the warm sensuality of the form. Carl’s sculpture is a delight to the eye and an uplift to the soul. It is meant to be a soothing balm to the eye after a day in the working world. The sculptures do not shout their presence, but have an authority and stillness all their own. Most people are hustling from one place to another - always in a hurry. Wouldn’t it be great to be able to have some artwork that would infuse them with calmness or bring a smile when it was looked at?
