Stanley Casselman worked over three years making hundreds of paintings appropriating the techniques used in Gerhard Richter’s iconic abstract paintings - such as employing an 10 foot tall squeegee rather than traditional paint brushes. The title Luminor marks a shift in this series; Stanley originally titled these works Inhaling Richter, but moved to Luminor when he felt the paintings had become something else. The title references Stanley’s Italian watch, the Panerai Luminor. Luminor is an invented word for something that glows from within, a fitting descriptor since Stanley feels that the most successful paintings have a sense of radiant, internal light. As Stanley has retired this series, these limited edition prints are especially exclusive, representing perhaps the last opportunity to own one of these works outside of the auction market.
