Stopa describing his practice: "I make abstract paintings that reference architecture. I’m specifically interested in the formal possibilities of utopian architecture.  My oil paintings are made of thin washes using archetypal, geometric forms.  My paintings are highly physical works and resemble a kind of flattened sculpture. I’m interested in the capacity of graphic color to point toward idealism."

Kobayashi describing his practice: "My work is reductive and playful in form, verging on the surreal and comical. Utilizing an intuitive array of colors, shapes, and textures, I create visual dualities: fluid vs. rigid, abstract vs. figurative, warm vs. cool, large vs. small, etc. Like a good story, every element is integral to the structure of the whole. I aim for tension and mystery that never quite resolves."
