Carl Wright
CARL WRIGHT — Carl Wright never really had a choice. He had to work in 3-D …...everything else seemed so …. flat. His medium of choice is stone because of its long lasting beauty, its ability to evoke emotion and stability through the tactile feel and it’s sweeping design. Carl sculpts abstract shapes in alabaster, marble and limestone. He 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.
