Bill McRight

Block Printing

Bill lives in Los Angeles with his wife and 2 cats. He makes his work at his home studio, a small backyard shed, his living room and front porch. Recently returning to block printing after an extended break he is amazed to see how far ink has come in that time. Besides making prints, Bill also engraves metal, makes drawings and sculptures, collects crystals and practices Reiki.

Bill: "As far as imagery, I'm all over the place, for me this is about communicating and healing. I'm referencing magical images and spiritual icons, exploring ways to help others feel connected to protection, healing and a universal energy. The world has gone crazy and anything that helps me feel better I hope to share with others."

Bill: "I've also been making these prints and drawings of clubhouses and stores, they're all made up but refer to places that exist. The buildings tend to be pretty ramshackle, made out of plywood and trash, covered in graffiti and ridiculous signs that warn trespassers and police to stay away. I find them intimidating but comforting... if you aren't here for fun go home."

Bill McRight's work has been shown all over the country including THIS Gallery (LA), Guerrero Gallery (San Francisco), and Space 1026 (Philadelphia).

He holds a BFA from Winthrop University in South Carolina and an MFA in Printmaking from the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York.
