The Century Association is pleased to present Willard Boepple: Monoprints and Sculpture. The exhibition will run from Tuesday April 6 through May 6, 2010.
Opening Reception will be held on Tuesday April 6, 2010 from 5 – 7pm.

Willard Boepple’s wooden sculptures are primarily influenced by utilitarian objects that interact with humans, such as ladders, shelves and mechanisms with levers and cogs.

It is not the objects themselves that are of interest but their dimension, size and proportions. He combines enormous variations in density, interval, and internal scale. The work can be read as everything from abstract evocations of aspiration to oddly canted cubist still lives. Observations of what it is to be human are transformed into metaphorical sculptures. His craftsmanship displays a modernist sense of connection with the long history of sculpture.
