For 40,000 years, we have been painting on walls. Undoubtedly it is the most original form of painting.

From animal drawings in Sulawesi and gods and goddesses in Egypt to the Creation of Adam in Rome and illegal graffiti in the New York subway—time and again, art turns to the wall.

The Micki Chomicki Gallery grants 21m2 of this inspiring mural freedom to local artists. By stripping away institutional constraints, the gallery's traditional hierarchy is turned on its head. On the patio wall, the artist becomes gallerist and collector, curator and director.

Except for the whims of weather and time, there are no rules, no format, no system. The artist opens the wall with their own perspectives. New relationships emerge between interior and exterior, between tangible and conceptual, between connection and disconnection, between in and out. The wall stands in defiance of the art institution and takes us back to the roots of creation.

It is not a boundary, not a limit, not a marker—it is an invitation, an embrace, a liberation.
