About the Item
Abstract geometric three-dimensional wood wall sculpture resembling stacked books in blue, grey, and white
"Blue Books", hand-carved wooden wall sculpture by Hudson Valley artist, Stephen Walling, made in 2022
20 x 48 x 3.5 inches
Carved wood and acrylic on panel
Signed, verso
Wire installed on the back
This abstract, three-dimensional wall sculpture was made by sculptor, Stephen Walling, in 2022. This piece resembling a stack of blue books was made with intricately carved blocks of wood, arranged in a linear, twisting pattern. The subtle wood grain looks similar to pages, accentuating the stacked books illusion. The artist varied the angles of wood cuts creating interesting plays of shadow and perspective. The sides are cleanly painted grey so the piece does not need to be framed.
About the artist and work:
Stephen Walling demonstrates a trained eye with wall relief sculptures of colorfully painted wood strips and blocks, intricately carved and composed into graphic arrangements.
Although Walling’s sculptures are crafted around a dedication to color and shape, his newest body of works reveals a shift in inspiration and evolution in studio process. In earlier work, the artist took his cues from nature; representational forms based on the shapes of trees, slopes of the Catskill mountains and even aerial views were most prevalent. He also experimented with photo-collage, pasting images of back lit forests on varying heights of wood. More recently, Walling has found increasing comfort in the possibilities of abstraction. Walling now follows a kind of ‘mind-map’, influenced by almost anything and everything, when creating a new sculpture. The premeditated image leads Walling to the selection of all colors, shapes, and arrangements. Recent work demonstrates a fascination with light and shadow. Individual pieces of intricately carved wood unite to create various shadows that work to create a dazzling optical illusion. Ranging depths of wood are often enhanced with color painted on different sides of each block. This hint of color encourages the viewer’s eye to travel throughout Walling’s surfaces as perspective reveals transitions in palette and shadow.
