A solo exhibition featuring the work of British artist Annemarie Wright, 33, is opening at London's Woolff Gallery, running from 31 May 2013. Wright creates portraits using only hand-written text, the text always describes, criticises or comes direct from the mouth of the people that she chooses to portray.

Annemarie Wright is one of the UK’s most exciting young artists. Her work has appeared in the New York Post, USA today, The Telegraph, The Mail and Time Out London to name a few, she has also exhibited widely throughout the UK & USA.

At this exhibition Annemarie will be presenting a series of portraits and cityscapes. Stephen Fry commented on his portrait saying ‘Clever Annemarie Wright, this is all made of her own handwriting’.

Annemarie will also be presenting ‘Their families have been told’, a portrait of Tony Blair made up from the names of fallen soldiers from Afghanistan and Iraq, aswell as ‘Buildings don’t go anywhere, they shouldn’t be restless’ which depicts the Twin Towers comprised of the names of 9/11 Victims. Proceeds from the sale of these works will to be donated to the charity ‘Help the Heroes’ or ‘The National September 11 Memorial & Museum’ funds respectively.

Annemarie Wright’s exhibition at Woolff Gallery will offer us an alternate view. We see these people through her eyes, and are offered a chance to learn a little about them in the process. This young artist is certainly one to watch for the future.

“Everyone has different opinions and feelings that can be expressed through words. The aim of my work is to challenge people’s perceptions and make them realise that first impressions can in fact change. I produce my work using ink and paper. From a distance you will see a black and white image, when moving closer you will see the image is made using handwritten text. The text is always written by, or about, the person or image in the piece itself. I find my inspiration lies within subjects that I find interesting and unique; the beauty of art is that it can encourage conversation and debate and hopefully inspire people”. - Annemarie Wright
