Lot 255 - Shawn Stipling - Structure Painting (White/Blue/Red)

ARTIST INFO

About 

Artist at Wysing Arts Centre, Bourn, Cambridge, UK.  

My work is often very sparse in its content. The elements I use are minimised until only that which is ‘active’ remains. This reduction is essential as it allows for greater control over each of these elements and, crucially, allows me to eliminate any accident in favour of ‘conscious choice’. The precision is also functional; further emphasising that even details, of sometimes only one millimetre or less, are intentional and not the result of chance. Creating a situation where the viewer is fully aware that every nuance has been considered and is not the outcome of a serendipitous act.
