Willard Boepple is deeply attuned to the shape of color. His sheer, skeletal sculptures, abstracted from their surroundings in emphatic though often offbeat monochromes, accentuate the sensation of a succession of planes. His unique screenprints, published in cycles, are supremely, playfully dimensional, teasing different readings within nested families of stenciled forms through intuitively progressive color variations. In what now seems the inevitable next step he has begun to produce printed sculptures, as signaled by the title of his show with FXFowle at 22 West 19th Street: Prints 2+3D. Opens Thursday
