Painting comes down off the easel: a telephone box on a wall, a window opened in a bathroom, a statue in its niche. Trompe-l’œil extends the room you live in, with the same craft as the canvases.
Murals are painted to commission, after a site visit and colour trials. The project is talked through with the client and then carried out on the spot.
For a mural — a private interior, a shop, a staircase or a ceiling — write to the studio with the surface area, the town and your preferred timing.
The method
Every project begins with a survey of the space and colour tests. The paint is then applied on site, in several passes, with pigments chosen for their lightfastness. Walls, ceilings and staircases each need different preparation: render, primer, then colour.
A painted scheme changes how a space is read: it can widen a narrow room, carry a garden on, or give a corridor some depth. It is the same work with colour as in the canvases, at the scale of the wall.
