EVEWRIGHT
Everton Wright (EVEWRIGHT), is a British artist, with parentage from Jamaica. He is a multi-disciplinary visual installation artist, who challenges public environments to make spaces for Black British stories to exist and thrive.
His work is a conscious ‘mash up’ of drawing, sculpture, combined with digital film and live installations. He explores the intricate connections between the body and our experience of the modern environment, and communicates this through bold interactive art, also using urban and rural landscapes as his canvas. He creates mirrors where he can see and recognise himself to instigate conversations in the mainstream about what it means to be Black and British in the UK today.
His work encourages and broadens conversations about what it means to be Black and British in the UK today.
EVEWRIGHT work include exhibitions at The Royal Academy of Arts, BFI and Firstsite Gallery Colchester and a series of site-specific art and sound installations ‘Caribbean Takeaway Takeover’ held in Lloyds Bank London, Migration Museum London in 2019 and a Caribbean Café in Colchester in 2018.
