Signed 'Stone' (lower right)
A luminous still life by Paul Stone, Clementines in an Orange Bowl presents a vibrant arrangement of ripe citrus gathered in a richly coloured bowl. The fruit’s glossy surfaces and fresh green leaves are rendered with striking precision, set against a deep, atmospheric backdrop that heightens their radiance. Stone’s masterful handling of light and texture elevates this simple subject into a serene, timeless composition, celebrating the quiet beauty and abundance found within everyday objects.
“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”.
