Scratches on metal suggest some previous action, intentional, violent, or otherwise. Paint has a way of announcing things that are below it in the way it is absorbed and dries on varying surfaces. I believe that these irregularities behave as a language that extends beyond the materials themselves; it is a language of non-existence, of things that are no longer present. My art explores this language; it relies on the invisible history evoked by the subtle wear of matter.

Max Wright is a Canadian artist, born in Mississauga, Ontario in 1979, and who is currently based in both Montreal and Toronto. He completed his BFA at Queen’s University in 2002, and has since developed and exhibited his work professionally, focusing his practice primarily on photo-based mixed media, and branching recently into stand-alone photographic projects. Max’s work is held in private collections internationally.
