I so enjoy the challenge of adapting my mural painting to fit the vision of the designer and/or homeowner! This was definitely the case with this recent mural I did with my colleague Joan in a home in Wellesley, MA.
In this case, the homeowners have a decidedly contemporary style, and the designer had a clear vision for transforming this space.
The wall is in a small recess at the landing of a set of stairs, and includes a bench seat. The designer wanted a bold, abstract pattern of white on black. She wanted a randomness to the pattern that would not have identifiable shapes, and directed that the pattern be sparse enough that there is plenty of empty space.
Running with this, I presented a scale painting to show my solutions and found a match with what the designer and the homeowner were looking for!
With that, we were on to painting the final wall. Below are pictures of the “final” result from a couple of angles. I say ”final” because the designer is not done yet, as she will be adding seat cushions and neon!
Enjoy!!
