In creating his paintings, Stephan Schoeppler says he is trying to “intrigue the viewer with shapes and shadows, creating a feeling of weightlessness and flight.”
His works also cross the boundary between two and three dimensions. By attaching objects to some pieces, he heightens their sculptural sense, the open shapes that peek out also increasing the feeling of airiness. Having worked in the fields of design and architecture, Schoeppler has a strong sense of line, giving each image a clarity that is also reflected in his color palette, which offers dynamic contrasts while also maintaining a fine balance. Through his use of “unexpected details” and an original approach to his materials, he achieves his goal of creating “something beautiful and lasting.”

About the Exhibition
Modalities of Expression demonstrates the myriad ways in which artists express truths, passions, and dreams in physical form. Showcasing a variety of techniques and media, including painting, photography, and sculpture, this exhibition tells as many stories as there are artists participating. Viewers are encouraged to experience each work as a vessel for sensation and information. From figuration to abstraction, en plein air paintings to carved sculptures, the works on display represent artistic impulses of all kinds and, ultimately, the indelible artistic urge to create.
