André Stempfel was born in León, France, in 1930 and today lives and works in Paris. Since 1980 he has shown with MADI artists, and has had solo shows in galleries in Paris, Japan, Russia, and Brazil. He has monumental works in France and Germany.
His work tends to minimalism, and contains humor and illusion. He was a part of the the group of French artists shown in conjunction with the Auguste Herbin show.
MADI is a great artistic adventure, and perhaps, the only existing movement which can justify half a century of existance. MADI is more than an avant-garde movement; it has an underlying wave with several and differing offspring. It is the slow-paced growth of a tectonic plate in the history of art. Indeed, since art and environment are perveived as the fusion of two cultural phenomena, the progression and expression of both of these blend in everyday life.
