The atmosphere of Marcel Hüppauf’s canvases is deliberately that of night, the colors both muted and electric, the touch fluid and quick. In dark and dense forests, not far from haunted houses, we are witness to mysterious conferences between birds, scarecrows, and mischievous ghosts. Yet Marcel Hüppauf’s night is not one of anxiety. His world, on the contrary, is full of a childlike tenderness that brims over with exuberance.

Marcel Hüppauf first had a traditional education in art history, before participating in alternative activities in Hamburg at the Akademie Isotrop, notably with artists such as André Butzer and Johnathan Meese. As a DJ, he is better known as Stanley Ipkiss.He lives and works in Hamburg.

Born in 1972 in Stuttgart.
