Richard Stipl

Working initially as a painter, Richard Stipl has recently turned to making sculpture. Using himself as a model, Stipl focuses exhaustively on the indefinite nature and moment-to-moment paradoxes inherent in the act of continuously recreating oneself throughout the course of a lifetime. Characteristically, Stipl's paintings and sculptural works force us to reconsider the role of boundaries and consequent categories of choice that comprise contemporary attitudes and approaches to art-making and art-consumption.
