About the Exhibition
We are pleased to present “Modern Language”, a solo exhibition by Jason Stopa. This exhibition showcases bold, colorful works that treat abstraction like a visual language. Rather than telling one story or pointing back to the artist alone, Stopa’s paintings invite viewers into a playful and open-ended conversation. Inspired by greats like Matisse, Morris Louis, and Frank Stella, Stopa reimagines familiar shapes and styles in his own vibrant way — not copying, but transforming them. His paintings buzz with movement and energy, encouraging us to think about how meaning can shift and evolve through color, form, and gesture. With a fresh take on modern painting, Stopa reminds us that abstraction can still surprise, delight, and speak to the world around us.
