Absolute Faith

Hazelwood native Robert Wright was a self-taught artist and prolific painter whose works were exhibited widely in the region. Wright died in 2006, at age 63, but his colorful renderings of cityscapes, levitating cars, beatific angels and much more lives on. Absolute Faith, an exhibit including more than 100 of his works, has been organized by collector Pat McArdle and curator Brittany Reilly. It opens tonight with a reception at Jesse Best Gallery, in Homestead. -Bill O-Driscoll
