Willard Boepple: Belt, 2016

Willard Boepple (b. 1945)
American sculptor, Willard Boepple, is known for his large-scale abstract sculptures constructed from wood or metal. He studied at the University of California at Berkeley and the Rhode Island School of Design and the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. He holds his BFA from City College of the City University of New York and has served as a faculty member at Bennington College and at the School of The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. 

Boepple shares his time between New York and Vermont, where is has his studio. His work in print began in 2003 when he was introduced to Kip and it has gone onto become a significant part of his artistic practice. His work was first exhibited at Fen Ditton Gallery as part of The Language of Abstraction (Jan 2022) and in May / June 2023, we held a solo exhibition of prints and low relief sculptures, titled Shards and their Sources.

Boepple comments; “My monoprints all begin with a drawing that is often based on a sculptural idea. The forms are laid out on a screen and the first colors are laid down in very thin, translucent layers and gradually built up with multiple layers of color, often twenty or more by the end. Like building a sculpture with color from the inside out, it is a process full of adventure, disaster, mystery, and surprise.”
