The artist has been exploring the interplay of complementary colors for several years. In Soppe's first series of paintings, "Back Nudes," the background, rasterized with complementary colors, creates an intangible color field within the partially realistic painting. In the viewer's eye, an atmospheric space is created, which makes the realistically painted part of the picture appear spatially forward. In Soppe's second series of paintings, "Variations on Paul's Apples," he takes up Paul Cézanne's apple still life series and translates some of Cézanne's motifs into his own complementary style of painting. The result is a series of paintings with a bold, graphic quality. Through the deliberate use of complementary colors, the motifs appear three-dimensional upon closer inspection. Three-dimensional vision arises in the viewer's mind through perception with both eyes. In Soppe's painting, a three-dimensional effect is created solely through the use of complementary grids. This allows the paintings to be perceived as three-dimensional.
The Neo-Impressionists, such as Georges Seurat, Paul Signac, Théo von Rysselberghe, and Anna Boch, already employed color grids in their painting. Also known as Pointillism, this style developed luminous color fields with an atmospheric effect through finely gridded and dotted pure colors. Soppe further develops this technique through the conscious use of complementary colors and coarse grids, allowing his paintings to glow in almost garish colors reminiscent of Pop Art. With self-irony, Soppe dubs his painting style "Pop Neo-Impressionism."
