The above paintings were brought to our attention by Jerome Wright.  Until March 3, 2013 The Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History  in Detroit is exhibiting: 

Size Matters: Large-Scale Paintings from the Collections of the Charles H. Wright Museum 

Size Matters presents fifteen contemporary large-scale paintings by twelve artists from diverse genres.  One of the artists represented in the display is Jerome Wright.

The Lebanon Valley Council On The Arts presents this overview of his work:

Jerome Wright
Originally from Virginia, and raised in Washington DC, Wright has led a remarkable life first as a Classical cellist playing with orchestras in Brazil and all over the world, and now after his retirement from the US Army, he has dedicated himself to painting.
He works with his fingers in oil paint and oil pastel, generally on panel or canvas, creating glazes of varnish over each new layer of work, a process which builds up surfaces of great richness. The pictures are drawn from Wright's colorful life as classical musician, theater goer and jazz music lover - and from his interest in things spiritual, where he attempts to create his synthesis of religious imagery.
The paintings in this slideshow represent the artist's recent work. The images are often very large and are difficult to photograph because of their shiny surfaces, so if possible you should see the paintings for yourself.
A signed book of earlier work and photographic reproductions suitable for framing are available by contacting the Arts Council.
