Oracle and Canterbury 2014 site specific wall paintings. Art OMI Ghent New York. Over the course of the last decade I wanted my work to address architecture more directly and wall paintings seemed a way to fuse paintings to architectural scale. I regard the wall paintings now as being as essential to my artistic practice as my paintings on canvas and paper which are bound by more conventional notions of portability and transferability. stephen westfall Stephen Westfall has been generating ideas for wall paintings since 2007 when he was invited to work at Solvent Space a site for experimentation in Richmond Virginia. On that occasion and for the installations that fol- lowed during the next six years in galleries and elsewhere the composi- tions of his wall-based works tended to be derived from already existing oil paintings. Even when they werent as in the wall paintings created at the American Academy in Rome in 2010 an overall structure was typically contained within the perimeters of the format in a way that had long been characteristic of his oil paintings even as his focus shifted from rectilinear grids to an emphasis on bold and multi-colored diagonals.
