Connor Wright is a contemporary artist living and working in New York City. Best known for his viral installation work, Wright will present a new body of large scale paintings in a solo exhibition in New York, December 11-22, 2025.

Centering wide-ranging photography as source material including personal archives, historical documents, sports photography, yearbooks, government records, thrift store slides, memes and beyond, Wright recasts these varied images in outline over spray painted color fields resulting in works that straddle abstraction and figuration. The hierarchy of source material, anonymous and mundane alongside iconic news and pop culture images, is flattened resulting in a series of works whose worldbuilding and narrative power comes from the tension between the familiar and the mythologized.

Hailing from St. Louis, MO, Wright became a viral sensation as a teenager for creating murals from quotidian objects like rubix cubes, crayon lipsticks and dominos. His work evolved to include collaborations with META and Maybelline. During his senior year at the University of Pennsylvania in 2020, Wright collaborated with fellow student Anna Barber to create the "Say Their Name" memorial in Minneapolis to honor the victims of police killings and dovetailing with the larger Black Lives Matter movement.
