Geometric, colorful Modern wall sculpture by Stephen Walling

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.

Stephen Walling
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 backlit 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.
