The matte painting (which can be translated with painting backgrounds) is a technique used mainly in film used to allow the representation of landscapes or places otherwise too costly or impossible to reconstruct or reach directly.
A new architectural painting by expressionist artist Stephen B. Whatley; commissioned by The Trustees of St Vincent's Nursing Home, Eastcote, Pinner, UK.
The artist visited St Vincent's Nursing Home on a sunny but freezing day in January and took photographs and made several graphite drawings and notes of colour sensations that inspired the painting; created in March 2022.
Whatley - whose work has been published in TIME - is noted for his contemporary architectural paintings, commissioned by The Royal Collection of Buckingham Palace, the BBC and the Tower of London - where there is a permanent walkway of his series of 30 paintings at Tower Hill, commissioned by Historic Royal Palaces in 2000.
The work of Stephen B. Whatley is in private collections worldwide and other public collections including the London Transport Museum and Westminster Cathedral.
