Stephen Walling
LET 'ER RIP! (Vibrantly Colorful Wall Sculpture by Stephen Walling)

2024

About the Item

Geometric, colorful Modern wall sculpture by Stephen Walling painted wood on panel 24 x 36 inches Hangs flush to the wall Signed on verso The artworks of Stephen Walling are difficult to neatly categorize. They exist somewhere between wall sculpture and painting, as the artist builds up shallow surfaces with blocks of painted wood to explore color, texture, and the conversation between shadows and light. "LET 'ER RIP!" is a playful composition that calls to mind an assortment of tiny landscapes. About the artist: Stephen Walling’s painted wood constructions incorporate both a playful usage of color with geometry and a dialogue with nature using a monochrome color scheme. Walling understands the power of design and color as proved by his experience as an award winning Art Director for Conde Nast Publications. Walling’s constructions revel in a three-dimensionality incorporating color and shadow. Some of the geometric pieces have a spatial presence that creates an optical illusion. Others are like puzzles with fitted pegs and blocks of wood. Several of Walling’s works inspired by nature have a lyrical quality. They are monotone in color and make references to organic forms. The painted wood shards are delicately assembled with the cut edges facing the viewer to create the look of a dense forest.
