Paul Rouphail’s work conflates trompe-l’oeil painting and depictions of graphs within domestic interiors, window panes, condiments, and neon. In referencing Otis Kaye’s images of the 1930’s and 40’s, as well as the American Precisionist painters, Rouphail’s images reimagine spaces where emojis and analytics confront and consume each other. Paul Rouphail (b. 1987) received his BFA from Carnegie Mellon University, and his MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design. His recent solo and group exhibitions include SMART OBJECTS, Los Angeles, CA; Jack Barrett, New York, NY; Nicelle Beauchene Gallery, Fisher Parrish Gallery, George Adams Gallery, Nancy Margolis Gallery, and Microscope Gallery, New York, NY; Fjord Gallery and Little Berlin, Philadelphia, PA; The Miller ICA at Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA; and White Columns online. Rouphail's work has been reviewed online and in print, including the Contemporary Art Review Los Angeles, Artspace, New American Paintings, Maake Magazine, and Gestalten Press' Imagine Architecture, among others. Rouphail has an upcoming solo exhibition at Stems Gallery in Brussels in the Fall of 2019. He lives and works in Philadelphia, PA and is represented by SMART OBJECTS in Los Angeles, STEMS in Brussels and Jack Barrett in NY.
