About the Artist

Painter/Sculptor

Fear has its place, it is to be overcome.

Allen Stamper was born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii. In 1964 he attended the Honolulu Academy of Arts where he studied drawing with Joe Feher while apprenticing painting restoration with his father, Willson Stamper .. In 1965 he began an apprenticeship in traditional sculpture with New York sculptor, Eddie Schillaci..Later he briefly studied dark to light painting techniques with Snowden Hodges

His style reflects both formalism and the simultaneous deconstruction of classical method. In essence to break free of any paradigms in an effort for brutal frankness about our pschological identity; to examine who we are without unnecessary contrivance or posturing.

Stamper's work hangs throughout the United States in private collections; additionally he is represented in collections in the United Kingdom, Europe, Korea and Japan.

He currently resides in NYC with his partner and maintains a studio in the “The Nest Arts factory” In Bridgeport CT
