STEPHEN WRIGHT: A Wave's-eye View
American Art Collector|June 2023
Countless artists have pictured the sea, none, however, like Stephen Wright. His hyper-realistic wave’s-eye-view paintings might make onlookers feel like they have water up their nose

STEPHEN WRIGHT: A Wave's-eye View

“I want the feeling of the excitement of being swept and thrashed around by something way bigger than us,” Wright explains in his artist statement.

Born in 1962, the Los Angeles native has spent a lifetime in and around water. Swimming lessons began when he was three, then his family moved into a house with a pool. “I spent all summer in the pool,” Wright remembers. “When I was a kid, I would pretend I couldn’t hear my parents by diving under the water.” His passion for it has yet to subside.

Today, Zuma Beach in Malibu, California, is his preferred aquatic hangout. Through June 7, Billis Williams Gallery in Los Angeles presents the gallery’s second solo exhibition of his waterscape oil paintings.
