Stephanie Stein

Stephanie Stein (b. 1972) is a German artist based in Berlin. Stein studied at the Gerrit Rietveld Akademie, Amsterdam, at the Cooper Union School for the Advanced Science and Art, New York, and Staatliche Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. In her work, Stein considers the light and shadows in parallel with space, which lead to an alteration of the space. Stein’s graphic works appear to be pure definitions of interspaces. Her sculptures and installations are delicately minimalist and the materials she uses are humble: wood, metal, graphite and paint. Her filigree, abstract minimalist works are precisely coordinated with spatial parameters such as light and shadow, dimension and motion. Stein's work alters the perception of an entire spatial structure. Recent exhibitions include Kölnischer Kunstverein, Cologne; Museum Morsbroich, Leverkusen and KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin.
