Willard Boepple's Monoprints Exhibition at Lori Bookstein Fine Art Through August 1

Willard Boepple's monoprints, on view at Lori Bookstein Fine Art through August 1, challenge perceptions of scale and form with belligerently flat, color-driven compositions. The artist, known primarily as a sculptor, explores chromatic variations through stenciled forms that evoke origami and Escheresque contortions. His collaboration with English master printer Kip Gresham, beginning in 2003, stems from Boepple's sculptural obsessions of the 1990s, which involved cast resin constructions. These prints, described as having a machine aesthetic reminiscent of Boccioni, suggest dynamism and a fourth-dimensional quality through leverage and spring-like trajectories. Boepple's background in painting informs the sumptuous, capricious color fields, yet the works remain rooted in his antipathy toward safe taste. The exhibition is located at 138 Tenth Avenue at 19th Street in New York, with contact information 212 750 0949. One featured piece, '21.2..14 O' from 2014, measures 16 x 26-1/4 inches. David Cohen authored the review, noting the prints' suitability for a sculptor engaged in restless format mining and assumption testing.
