PAUL STONE | Clementines in an Orange Bowl
Oil on Canvasboard
32 x 47 cms / 12½ x 18½ inches
Paul Stone’s Clementines in an Orange Bowl, continues the tradition of still life painting, celebrating the timeless dialogue between light, form, and balance. The glowing fruit and subtle reflections recall the quiet harmony of Dutch masters, yet his restrained palette and modern clarity root the work firmly in the present, a meditation on beauty found in the simplest of arrangements.
“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”.
