Ted Stamm

(

1944–1984

)

Stamm built a world of measured pulse.

His “Wooster” and “Dodger” series reduce painting to sequence — movement without motion.

In his world, the grid keeps time.

Structural Focus

Rule-Based Freedom

Constraints or systems generate variation. Freedom arises through adherence to rules rather than expressive choice.

In Ted Stamm’s work, this approach appears where systems organize abstraction.

Constructed Surfaces

Surfaces are built through layering, joining, and controlled fabrication.

Systems of Clarity

Order and coherence arise through disciplined systems and constraints.

Gesture functions as structure through disciplined, repeatable action.

Structure holds the work through rules, joins, and controlled relationships between parts.

Form operates as a site for material, perceptual, and conceptual inquiry.

Reduction clarifies form through repetition, scale, and restraint.

Art functions through logic, feedback, and systems thinking.
