About this lot

Description

Atmosphere 1&3 watercolour and pencil on Japanese paper each 28 x 22cm, unframed Footnote: Harry Cory Wright is most famed for his photographic work which is made using large format analogue cameras and explores ideas of outdoor place, landscape and how we hold ourselves within it. The photographs ar e generally quite large and full of rich and fascinating detail. The drawings on the other hand are spare and minimal, often made with a single gesture of ink on paper. If his photographs represent a single moment rich in complicated layers and relationships of detail then the drawings, in spite of their implied simplicity, are an accumulation of these experiences over many years of immersion in British landscape. In this fascinating quest for the elemental aspects of our landscape Harry is inclined to bring down the themes to a minimum. His work concentrates on woodland scenes evoking the river he was brought up on, vast stretches of Norfolk’s tidal salt marshes and recently the more confrontational aspects of our Atlantic West coast.
