Clark Stoeckley: Stars & Stripes

Clark Stoeckley is a multidisciplinary artist whose recent work bridges geometric abstraction and documentary photography. His latest projects include vibrant large-scale murals for the Kuwait National Council for Culture, Arts and Letters, the Downtown Minneapolis Street Art Festival, and Burning Man, as well as a photography series, Feral Felines, capturing the lives of stray cats. His geometric abstract drawings and murals fuse architectural precision with organic rhythm, transforming public and gallery spaces into dynamic fields of color and pattern. As a courtroom artist, Stoeckley illustrated and authored The United States vs. Private Chelsea Manning: A Graphic Account Inside the Courtroom. His art has been exhibited at the Pratt Manhattan Gallery, apexart, Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis, Emily Harvey Foundation Gallery, EIDIA House, Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Hartware Medien Kunst Verein, Revolt Gallery, and Contemporary Art Platform Kuwait. His work has appeared in ARTnews, VICE, Hyperallergic, Associated Press, The Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, The Nation, MSNBC, and PBS. Stoeckley earned an MFA in Performance and Interactive Media Art from Brooklyn College and a BFA in Alternative Media from Webster University. He is currently an Associate Professor of Art & Graphic Design at the American University of Kuwait and previously taught at Bloomfield College.

Clark is currently a visiting scholar in the Studio Art Department until the end of August, through the Dartmouth-AUK Program.
