Ian Wright

From Ian Wright’s first job, at the end of the seventies, designing the cover of the Undertones’ “Teenage Kicks” 7-inch single, to his frenetic weekly Fosters Ice in the nineties, to his unique in store installation for lssey Miyake in New York City in the noughties, Wrigths work has spanned four decades. That is no small achievement.

Never on to stand still long enough to cash in on a creative approach, Wright has constantly forced his work into new directions. He has tested new developments in technology and mixed up techniques and materials, while creating unique visions that have remained in a constant flux.

An image maker since 1978, Ian Wright has been working across the field of art and design. He is currently involved in producing large-scale modular installations for clients such as  The British Museum, Brinkworth Architects, Milliken Carpet, Vitra and the Design Council.

Using materials not immediately associated with picture making, Wright seeks to distance himself as far from the pencil as possible. Enjoying the unpredictability they offer, his unconventional use of easily available and deliberately inexpensive materials has included salt, cassette tape, badges, beads, paper cups and drawing pins.
