Based in New Orleans, Louisiana, artist Sophie Treppendahl paints quiet scenes from everyday life. A messy studio, a view from the living room window, a friend’s cluttered desk—Treppendahl’s interiors rarely include figures, yet are imbued with a simultaneous sense of life and stillness, as though someone has just walked out of the room. Using light as a tool for abstraction, her colorful paintings feature shapes and shadows that serve as a playground for paint and pattern.
Sophie Treppendahl was born in 1991. The artist received a BA in Painting and Printmaking from the College of Charleston in Charleston, South Carolina in 2013.
