In Clementines Study, Paul Stone brings classical still life into the modern era with striking clarity. The rich orange tones of the fruit glow against a deep black backdrop, highlighting their natural texture and form. With an eye for light and surface, Stone captures the quiet beauty of the ordinary, transforming simple clementines into a compelling meditation on colour, balance and stillness.
“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”.
