Vincent Stemmler

Vincent Stemmler is a mixed media artist who uses various forms of collage to explore issues of a world in constant flux. Investigating issues of individual and social identity, fragmentation, and loss, Stemmler employs materials with social and political connotations. The material focus of Stemmler’s work is often derived from bringing disparate pieces together to form a whole while addressing ideas of labor, class, and multiculturalism. Born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, Stemmler holds an associate’s in the arts from Florissant Valley Community College, a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and an MFA from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. Vincent Stemmler is currently artist in residence at the Kranzberg Arts Center in St. Louis.
