“Willard Boepple is an unabashed modernist — an innovator who works within a well-defined sculptural tradition made new through his passion and his wonderful sense of surprise. Boepple’s sculptures make manifest the latent friction and release in their geometries, creating a changing symphony of negative spaces as one surveys his sculptures from different perspectives. He emphasizes economy and restraint in the judicious placement of each linear element: these works are both concise and quite light, creating beautiful dance-like structures of complexity and ease.”
