From Conduit Gallery:
“In David Canright’s, Built Environments, the artist presents a series of large-scale ink drawings. Canright intends
for the viewer to enjoy his “queasy admiration for the creativity, daring and gleeful wonder that lies at the heart
of science, architecture and engineering.” Both ridiculous and essential, Canright’s drawings are manifestations
of our most human qualities. To enter these drawings is to enter a rabbit hole where a completely whole,
imagined yet considered world awaits our travel from room to room, or tunnel to cave, exploring the devious
and clever environments created by a very smart, thoughtful designer-artist. Each drawing introduces a
radically different point of view to an alternate world where playfulness is supremely rewarded.
David Canright is an artist and writer from Cleveland, Ohio. He studied art at the University of Texas at Austin
with Peter Saul and Richard Thompson. After college he spent ten years in New York, where he exhibited work
at several venues including Clementine Gallery, The Drawing Center, and the Yale University Gallery. He is
currently making drawings and paintings in Dallas, and his work has been featured most recently at Conduit
Gallery and the Dallas Art Fair.”
