Oil on Canvasboard

Signed 'Stone' (lower right)
A refined still life by Paul Stone, Arrangement with Peaches and Lemons brings together glowing preserved peaches, vibrant lemons, and cool metal spoons in a carefully poised composition. The warm, subdued backdrop accentuates the fruit’s rich colour and varied textures, while the soft fall of light creates a quietly contemplative atmosphere. Stone’s meticulous technique lends a sense of depth and presence, transforming these simple objects into a serene study of balance, tone, and understated elegance.
“At the core of my paintings is the search for a precision of focus on the formal properties of objects that have an everyday, almost unremarkable presence in our lives. This results in a familiar and nostalgic content, and for me a more intimate relationship with their representation.
While the work displays a high sense of realism, particularly in reproduction, it is important to me that the works are still essentially a personal interpretation of form and composition, and therefore not lose that sense of being a painting. The excitement of being an artist for me lies both in the process of physically using paint to transform, and a sense of achievement in completing the work”.
