He works from the Irish landscape, an art practice usually perceived as documentary and observational in nature. However, it encompasses a personal view which has it’s antecedence in the 19th century English landscape tradition.
In a similar vein he has recorded a particular view of the Irish landscape, the disused and abandoned bog-lands of County Wicklow, slices of bare mountainside, abandoned roadways all combine to give moody atmospheric views.
Niall Wright's most recent solo exhibitions were at New Art Studio in June 2011 and at the Mill Cove Gallery, Casteltownbere, Cork in August 2011.
