GRACIE WRIGHT, who lives in Wrentham is about to launch the second exhibition of her work at ORGASMIC café in Queen street, Norwich on Sunday 11th2pm- 10.30pm and Monday 12th September, 10.30am-11.00pm. the first exhibition featured her experiences whilst in Thailand, vivid colours and beautiful scenes. This exhibition has been inspired by Gracie’s visits to Spain. She has captured the wildness, open gardens, parks and shapes. She quotes Valencia as being her main backdrop, a cacophony of colour and wonderful scenery, flamenco and excitement.

Following the success of her first exhibition earlier this year, mounted at The Coach House, Wrentham, she has branched out into Norwich. Laura Knights, the owner of Orgasmic café and her manager, Leanne, have been very supportive, providing a most interesting venue for this venture.

Majoring with prints on canvas, Gracie has also received valued help from Jenny, the owner of Arts Concepts based in Norwich. Over 800 invitations have been distributed to addresses in London and throughout Norfolk.

Gracie, 20 years of age, is targeting bars and restaurants as ideal locations to display her works. The explosion of colours and the vibrancy of her work will certainly attract widespread attention from diners at the café and the large number of people who will attend the exhibition.

Having studied photography and painting at City College Norwich. Gracie Wright has unleashed herself on the public with a solo exhibition at Orgasmic. The venue makes an ideal backdrop for her youthfully vibrant digital canvases.

Dancing Lights was, amazingly, taken on her first excursion with a digital camera. Focusing on a particularly vivid yellow light in a nightclub, she begun to spin with the music. This experimental motion has created striations of lime and yellow on a pulsing red background. It’s a funky, experiential recording of modernity.

In another print Wright uses a similar approach with a crystal chandelier to give the viewer an impression of peering through a microscope at Dayglo sperm rushing to inseminate a dark central vortex.

Many images are contrived by working with double exposures overlaid to great effect. Crimson Tide features a pool of tiled, sunlit water with the second image gently introduced to create a meditative mosaic effect. I was so taken with this particular image that I plan to commission a roller blind for the privy!

The most eye catching series, though, is created by morphing a hibiscus flower with an agapanthus.

Interested in the notional relationships of colours, Wright has artfully reversed and redistributed them to form vibrantly modified flora. Its bright and energetic stuff, visually accessible and commercially priced to sell.
