Discover the transcendent world of Stanley Casselman, a visionary American artist whose luminous, multi-layered paintings invite viewers into a contemplative space between the visible and the unseen. Born in 1963 and based in New York, Casselman explores the intangible—spirituality, perception, and the architecture of consciousness—through meticulously crafted works that are both baroque in emotion and precise in execution.

Casselman’s unique approach to painting began in the early 1980s, when he first experimented with silkscreen as a medium. Utilizing the screen as a matrix of perfectly aligned threads, he pioneered a method of working from the reverse side, capturing fleeting energetic moments on a surface that is typically hidden. This process results in mesmerizing compositions that feel simultaneously spontaneous and deliberate, revealing an “underside” of painting rarely seen.

His works unfold through layers of gestural marks and radiant color, forming what he describes as a visual pursuit of higher consciousness. Grounded in the belief that abstraction is the purest path to truth, Casselman continues to push the boundaries of pigment and perception in a search for the sublime.

Casselman earned his Bachelor of Arts from Pitzer College in Claremont, California. His artworks have been exhibited internationally, with notable presentations at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, Gazelli Art House in London and Baku, and Secci Gallery in Milan. His pieces are held in the permanent collections of institutions such as the New Orleans Museum of Art, the Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation, the Flint Institute of Arts, and Borusan Contemporary in Istanbul.
