Escapes
Steve Wright’s bold and beautiful paintings of man-made objects moving across void or pared-down landscapes, combine a carefully honed consideration of colour and form. The uncanny nature of these vividly absurd action scenes simultaneously implies disaster and a slapstick humour.
20 April – 19 June 2015, Clothworkers’ Hall, University of Leeds.
