richard woods & sebastian wrong
Artist Richard Woods is a graduate of the Slade School of Fine Art. His well-documented work crosses boundaries between art, architecture and design and is most often made up of exaggerated, garish representations of traditional British architectural and interior motifs like wooden flooring, chintz wallpapers or red bricks. These “logos of realty” are created using traditional woodblock techniques and then applied to walls as a second skin to an object covering interior floors, walls and recently a courtyard in the Henry Moore Project at the Venice Biennale 2004, an entire residential building in upstate New York 2006 and a store interior for Comme des Garcons in Osaka, 2003. Sebastian Wrong was born in 1971 in London. He studied Fine Art (sculpture) at Norwich School of Art as well as Camberwell School of Art, where he graduated in 1993. With his education in the field of three dimensional art, his design practice has developed as a parallel work with fine art. His interests are in material manipulation, purity of form, function and honesty. The design work cultivates from the balance between function, aesthetics and refinement. The Wrongwoods storage system marks their first collaboration.
