Absolute Faith - An Exhibition of the Work of Artist, Robert Wright

Born and raised in Hazelwood, Robert Wright (1943-2006) was a prolific and self-taught artist whose paintings, drawings, and multi-media works converged the natural world, spiritual scenes, and everyday city life in compelling, bold compositions that reveal a new dimension upon each viewing.

Often working in series, creating dozens of variations on a subject, Wright took inspiration from his perspective of Pittsburgh’s hillsides, regional flora and fauna, local and international news, and his exposure to religious imagery. In Wright’s color-driven worlds, flickering birds, levitating cars, beaming angels, and contorted expressions result in a stirring journey.
