Paul Stone's Work

It has been a busy few day's. I was on the BBC York on Jonathan Cowap last Friday and you can listen to that HERE Then there has been all the final prep, we have managed to sell two works already so things are going well. Only two more days to go now and tonight I am going to talk about Paul Stone's work.


Green Line - 25 x 30cm - Oil on board

Paul's works are are almost photo-realistic but they are far too painterly, you can see the work that goes into them and the brush marks relates to the rich history of oil painting. This history is obvious in style in terms of his use of still life but the works are very contemporary. The image above is one of my favorites, I love the clear simple composition and the way this works looks at texture with these shining metal glasses placed on glass and how the title also makes reference to the material. This material or subject is important in Paul's work and he is very careful to pick each and spends a great deal of time working with the composition before committing to a new work which in itself can change and develop. All this time preparing really pays off in the finished product making fantastically well rounded work that draws nearly every ones eyes no matter what type of art they like.
