It might be an insult to compare a work of art to wallpaper. But not to David Wightman. His work is literal wallpaper. The Stockport-born artist creates beautiful paintings and prints of fictional landscapes entirely from rolls of the material. David's conversion to the technique came when he was studying at the Royal College of Art in London and found a forgotten roll of wallpaper in a store cupboard. It transported him back to his childhood home, whose walls were all wallpapered. He began experimenting, assembling layers of textured paper and then painting over sections to create imaginary vistas inspired by his beloved walks in the Peak District.
