Curphey Forrestall's latest Theatre work

The third oldest son of the Natalie & Tom Forrestall clan is the multi-talented Curphey Forrestall, who lives and works in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Curphey has been doing amazing murals and set and scenic painting on movie and theatre production for a number of years. This week he has been working on "Munchipelosa" a traveling children's show in Nova Scotia. Next week another project. He has worked on everything from helping to paint a re-creation of a Viking village for a huge American movie set in Nova Scotia, to murals in stores and on the sides of buildings. With traditional brush-and-paint techniques Curphey creates painted vistas, professional faux-finish, texturing and trompe l’oeil mural installations sing a sophisticated technique of repeated glazing and layering to achieve an evocative sense of depth and luminosity to his work. He is very talented, and can paint quickly--important for contract set work. Although he usually works on sets with others, he has collaborated with his dad, Tom on a couple of large public painted mural projects.
