Known for his geometric sculptures in bold colors and bolder forms, Willard Boepple's
Prints: 2+3D displays a selection of monoprints and 3D-printed sculptures. The exhibition teases the relationship between the 2D and 3D, focusing on the works' ability to transcend and create dimensions. With palettes of vibrant color and clean forms, Boepple's monoprints explore the creation of visual space through themes of layering, translucency, and volume, while his 3D sculptures explore size to scale relationships through structures drawn in space.
Prints: 2+3D is on exhibition in the FXFOWLE Gallery from February 2 through March 31. The gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM.
