Stanley Casselman American, b. 1963

  • Casselman  (b.1963)  is a New York-based artist who began painting on silkscreen in college in the early ‘80’s. The screen, a grid of essentially perfectly spaced fishing line, has opened a universe of possibility and many consider Casselman the pioneer within the medium. He deploys numerous inventive ways to manipulate pigment and often paints from the back side of the screen. His unique approach enables the capture or the freezing of energetic events on the verso. The imagery that is revealed is what’s typically the underside of painting, the side that would be in contact with the substrate or the side which is normally hidden and never seen.
