The Sphere Gallery will present "Quantum Abstractions," a solo exhibition by American artist Stanley Casselman, opening with a VIP preview Saturday, Oct. 18, from 6 to 8 p.m. The exhibition will be on view Oct. 19 through Nov. 1, 2025, at The Sphere Gallery’s Laguna Beach, Calif., location.
Known for his innovative silkscreen techniques and painterly abstractions, Stanley Casselman’s work resonates at the intersection of science and art. In “Quantum Abstractions,” the artist draws inspiration from the paradoxical world of quantum physics, where uncertainty, duality and unseen forces reshape our understanding of reality. Through abstraction, fluidity and implied motion, Casselman visualizes the invisible — evoking the balance between chaos and order, matter and energy, the microscopic and the cosmic.
“I find inspiration in the invisible, the uncertain and the paradoxical — much like the world of quantum physics,” Casselman said. “Just as observation alters reality in quantum mechanics, I hope my work challenges the viewer’s perception, inviting them to contemplate not only what is visible, but also what lies beneath the surface.”
Philippe Hoerle-Guggenheim, founder of The Sphere Gallery, said: “Stanley Casselman’s exhibition ‘Quantum Abstractions’ is a powerful collection of works that feels new and fresh, elevating the artist’s visual expression to new heights. Beyond the works themselves, there is a historic resonance here — the deep local relevance of the Southern California ‘Light and Space’ movement. Casselman’s practice can be viewed in dialogue with seminal figures such as Helen Pashgian, Mary Corse and James Turrell.
“California has long been home to visionary artists who drew inspiration from their surroundings and pushed the boundaries of material and perception. Stanley Casselman represents a new generation within this lineage, bringing his perspective, distinctive use of light and color and innovative processes. What makes his work remarkable is not only what we see but also the medium and method he so masterfully applies.”
Hoerle-Guggenheim not only champions Casselman through curating this exhibition but is also a longtime friend and collector of his work — making the presentation especially meaningful.
Casselman’s practice reflects an intuitive exploration of interconnectedness, using layers of color, texture and light to create works that feel immersive and transcendent. His paintings are held in major museum and private collections, including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Borusan Contemporary in Istanbul.
“Quantum Abstractions” invites audiences into a dialogue between art and science, offering an opportunity to engage with one of contemporary abstraction’s most compelling voices.
