"Cindy Wright’s paintings have an arrestingly claustrophobic effect. Wright depicts in paint photographic close-ups, which she makes herself, of various configurations of raw meat, persons she encounters, sections of human skin, lace curtains, a slain deer, a dead fish, and other objects and parts of objects that constitute the intimate and domestic realms. The viewer is forced to scrutinize in detail such matter as glistening fat, creases in skin, flesh, and fur, which in most images—and in life—exist as a generalized blur. Paradoxically, the impact of Wright’s paintings is most pronounced at a considerable distance from the canvas, where the large-scale trompe l’oeil details coalesce into view. Move in closer to the canvas, and the details disappear into lovely, quasi-abstract impasto. (...)" (Libby Limpkin Ph.D. Director L.V.A.M.)
