Bio
Harry Cory Wright is a multidisciplinary artist whose work is concerned with/explores the sense of place and range of visual experiences we have whilst being in landscape. Famed for his landscape photography - elevated with the introduction of the Gandolfi 10x8 camera in 1995, the last 10 years have seen Cory Wright move his practice further, exploring landscape through graphite, watercolours and inks, sculptural reliefs, and most recently, immersive installations with the project: 600 pieces of Landscape.
Photography was first, particularly with the big 10x8 inch camera with its vast amount of information. It is still a very relevant tool. Then about 20 years ago I started to draw, mostly single ink lines of the island here in Norfolk. I became interested in the way a single line could also give the sensation of a being somewhere using barely any information at all... just the motifs. It also became clear that the line was better for being loose; the more precise it is, the less is the effect.
Over 40 years, Cory Wright’s practice has been one of a consistent, possibly relentless, quest to find the meaning of why we find being in landscape an often overwhelming experience. By breaking down the visual process to the bare bones of time and place, he hopes to reveal something about our perception of ‘place’ and why it seems to stir us so readily.
Harry Cory Wright was born in 1963 and continues to live and work in North Norfolk. He ran the Saltwater Gallery for 15 years and published a dozen books on landscape with the Saltwater Books company. These books are still available to purchase here. Cory Wright has worked with Eleven Fine Art since 2005 and they continue to represent his photographic work.
