In this studio visit and art studio tour, we step inside the extraordinary creative studio of Stanley Casselman — an artist who left Brooklyn for Jersey City and was told it would be artistic suicide.
When Stanley told people he was moving, even his own family questioned it.
“You can’t get people to Brooklyn,” they said. “How are you going to get them to Jersey City?”
Then he found this place.
A converted cigarette factory with fourteen foot ceilings, massive freight elevators, and enough raw industrial space to build tools eighteen feet wide just to move paint.
Stanley Casselman doesn’t think of himself as a painter.
He thinks of himself as someone who plays with clay.
An economics major turned artist, he builds his own tools, pushes paint through mesh screens, and creates works with twelve thousand connections per square inch. Paint that exists on both sides of the surface. Paint that penetrates.
This studio tour reveals a process built on experimentation, scale, and risk.
This isn’t about what’s good.
It’s about what’s magnificent.
What moves the needle.
What makes someone stand in front of a painting and feel something shift.
“I’m Stanley Casselman. Welcome to my studio.”
This is Where They Create.
