Stanley Casselman

Stanley Casselman, born in 1963 in Phoenix, Arizona, and currently residing in New York, is a contemporary abstract painter. His art reflects his belief in the role of abstraction in reaching absolute truth, exploring the known and speculative forces that form the lattice of our physical reality. In the early 1980s, Casselman began painting on silkscreen during college, developing numerous inventive techniques. He gained art-world fame after responding to critic Jerry Saltz's call for a perfect copy of a Gerhard Richter painting. Impressed by Casselman's technique, Saltz purchased the reproduction, leading to wider recognition. Casselman is deeply committed to the notion that color, line, and form have the ability to change consciousness. His works have been exhibited nationally and internationally at prestigious institutions, including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
