Robert Wright (Pennsylvania, 1943 – 2006)
Untitled (dragon)
Acrylic painting on substantial paper stock
Signed to lower right
Dimensions:28.0" W x 22.0" H x 0.1" D
This acrylic outsider image of an abstracted dragon was created by Robert Wright in Pittsburgh, PA in the mid to late 20th century. Signed to the lower right. A vibrant palette combines with outstanding composition and a very well drawn dragon to make this a most desirable painting. We have left it unframed as many of our buyers (especially the interior designers) prefer to choose their own framing. It also saves on shipping.
Born the seventh son of a seventh son, Robert Wright was deeply influenced by his Roman Catholic faith and local Pittsburgh neighborhoods. His paintings often highlight the South Side Pittsburgh slopes, religious motifs, faces, and birds. He was a self-taught artist who exhibited at a few local Pittsburgh galleries and the Three Rivers Arts Festival. Diagnosed with schizophrenia, Wright never finished high school and eventually worked as a landscaper and a janitor at a daycare center. His mother, Catherine, fostered his artistic interests and he eventually found success with his work at a social service agency in Oakland. Wright’s work was championed by collector of folk and outsider art Pat McArdle.
