39 BOLTON STREET NEWCASTLE / OZZY WRIGHT 6 - 21 JUNE, 2025/

Ozzy Wright’s art is an unfiltered expression of freedom, feeling, and rebellion — equal parts punk energy, surf culture, and poetic honesty.

Known for his raw, spontaneous style, Ozzy paints with the same spirit he brings to music and surfing: loose, instinctive, and full of life. His work blends bright colour, bold characters, and hand-scrawled slogans that speak to themes of love, anti-establishment resistance, mental health, and emotional vulnerability — all wrapped in a playful, chaotic visual language.

This exhibition is a vivid reflection of Ozzy’s world — messy, joyful, weird, and deeply human. Behind the humour and wild energy is a quiet call for connection, softness, and staying true in a noisy, complicated world.

Wright invites viewers to embrace the chaos, question the system, and never underestimate the power of weirdness, kindness, and colour.
