Amy Wright is an Australian contemporary landscape artist whose work, rooted in figuration, explores the vitality of nature and captures wild and untamed landscapes through an abstracted lens. With a diverse career in textile design, fine art, and floristry, Wright's artworks are narratives rich in pattern, texture, and colour. Based in Regional Victoria, she creates from her garden studio, fully immersed in the landscapes that inspire her. Wright's work is highly sought after both in Australia and Internationally, with collectors and gallery representation worldwide.
Known for bold and unashamedly wild depictions of the landscape, Wright is inspired by the untamed, often overlooked and abandoned landscapes, where nature is allowed to flourish unchecked, reclaiming its space from human interventions. Each canvas serves as a Wunderkammer, blending reality with imagination and myth; wild plants sprawl, landscapes soar with tiered forms, and horizon lines often fade into obscurity.
With a background in surface textile design and floristry, pattern, texture, and colour are fundamental to Wright’s practice. Working primarily from memory, she intricately weaves detailed textures and patterns together using a painting technique akin to collage, constructing compositions from cropped fragments to explore the interplay of hidden and revealed elements within her work.
