The inspiration for Susie Wright’s work comes from the artist’s Scottish heritage, an interest in natural history and an appreciation of architecture.
In her captivating images, Wright invites the viewer into a world of experimental and intriguing landscapes, as she turns familiar representations into edgy and linear new worlds of exploration. Animals feature often in her work, especially stags and owls; the stag is perhaps a reference to ‘Monarch of The Glen’ (1851), a painting of a red deer stag by Landseer, and one of the most notable images of Victorian Scotland.
Wright works in a variety of media, which includes intricate illustrations, 3D constructions, digital images, photography and screen printing, with each process informing the other. She often combines 2D images and 3D models, echoing the methods that architects use to convey how a proposed project would look once completed.
Wright is currently artist in residence at Central Saint Martins College printmaking department, as well as art director of independent clothing label Oddities. Recent illustration commissions include artwork for The Scottish Beekeepers’ Association, The Travelling Gallery and Wallpaper Magazine.
