Letters have been playfully arranged in this screenprinted image to spell out the words ‘bastard in love’, the title of a song by Black Flag, the 1970s punk band from Los Angeles. Wright trained in typography and signwriting and often uses letters in his work which are devoid of content. Curator Alex Farquharson has said, ‘Meaning in Wright’s work is transmitted below language’s radar.’ This work is the fifth in a portfolio of six created for the ‘Gagosian Gallery Poster Edition’, published by Gagosian Gallery, London and printed by Karl-Heinz Neumann, Cologne. Each print was named ‘Untitled Figure’ and numbered from one to six. These prints were initially conceived as a series of posters to be pasted onto internal or external walls.
