Artist Statement

"...Stephen Keltner's work seems to open a window into another reality: his choice to displace a common form plays with the viewer's sense of perception."  Charles J. Reina

"...Stephen Keltner, working primarily in welded steel, constructs spare and elegant sculptures that have built into them surprising qualities of allusion and illusion. Keltner's sculptures, fully experienced, allow us to linger in wonderment in the magical space between mind and matter."

                                                                               J. Pindyck Miller

"...Stephen Keltner creates three-dimensional drawings in metal that suggest a depth beyond the space they exist in."  

                                                     Dominic Lombardi, New York Times
