Description
In his work, Tad Lauritzen Wright is interested in generating an impromptu reaction to an idea, thought, or experience. He has always been attracted to art work that comes from discounted sources. He takes basic ideas, simple plans, and rigorous daydreaming to an extreme in his work, always attempting to elevate his ideas and observations. Craft and hobby projects are elevated to art status, and icons of the past become poised for new interpretations in his work. He believes in allowing the extended possibilities of landscape, dead images, jokes, plays on art history, pop culture, and personal history to shape how the pieces develop. He approaches his work as an ongoing project where he is constantly expanding his own artistic vocabulary. Link to the artist's website.
