Basked in purity and her personal interpretation of contemporary aesthetics, Astrid Stoeppel uses paint and strips of paper to create paintings and assemblages which reflect a oneness and almost spiritual essence of color. With stripes, dots, circles, and squiggles—Astrid conveys color as pieces of form and structure by themselves in solidity. Much like a fine ballet dance or classical orchestra, the colored forms harmonize upon the surface to the whims of Astrid Stoeppel’s refined and carefully controlled compositions.

These works express both pop art and color field painting inclinations with both bold proclamations in tone, form, and composure followed by carefully choreographed orchestration of stringing color which are meant to manipulate the emotional impulses of the viewer. Astrid’s paintings and assemblages are conveyed to dominate a room rather than accentuate the area through bold proclamations of curvature and geometry dipped in lucid colors which expand the imagination and provoke emotional reactionary stimulation—such as feelings of joy, playfulness, and minimalistic tendencies determined by the color schematics. The paintings and assemblages are a determination and interpretation of space, not only within the composition, but also to how the pieces relate to being placed within a presentable interior—summoning a sense of imposition and musical conveyance.

Paperwork # 30 (pictured above) is one of Astrid Stoeppel’s most experimental works. The assemblage incorporates strips of paper to behave similar to a relief-sculpture or textured painting-like artwork. The whirlwind of color and intricate harmony remains astounding considering the number of individual strips of paper within the work. Such composure and great control of the tones amongst each other indicates an artist deeply attuned with her personal artistic philosophy as well as craftsmanship.

Astrid Stoeppel conveys color to have deeper purpose in contemporary discourse by accentuating a sense of purpose in puristic form rather than improvised expressions. Her deeply mathematical and geometrical approach to artmaking indicates she wishes to turn color into structures which shape the viewer’s relationship with space, distance, and emotional impulses regarding color harmony and composure. Through a sophisticated palette and carefully clean surface, Astrid Stoeppel refines contemporary surfaces to expand beyond the confines of the canvas to invade our intimate as well as visited spaces—to contemplate on her orchestration of form and color as substance of purity rather than as subjugated tools or techniques.
