ARTIST

ELLIOTT JUN WRIGHT

Elliott Jun Wright, born in 1984 in Highland Springs Virginia; Is a Korean-American artist who’s mixed-media assemblages and sculptural works combine materials ranging from domestic goods like dried foods, beauty masks, vintage issues of Architectural Digest magazine and industrial raw materials such as extruded aluminum modular framing into hybrid objects where multiple and varying signifiers of "Asian identity" are isolated and collapsed together. These signifiers (often manufactured by the culture industry) act as materials for constructing identity, and how these may also be projected onto us. Wright has presented works in various group and solo exhibitions internationally including Empty Gallery, Art021 Shanghai ROC (2019); Tiger Strikes Asteroid, Brooklyn NY (2019); Hester, New York NY (2015); Sculpture Center, Queens NY (2015).
