Scott Teplin’s work is focused on the minutiae, creating worlds of intensely detailed stacked rooms which are filled with items of curiosity.

Scott Teplin was born in 1972 on Halloween in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and now lives in New York City. His work is included in the permanent collections of The Museum of Modern Art (NYC and San Francisco), The New Museum, and more.
