A serene still life by Paul Stone, Pak Choi captures the sculptural elegance of fresh greens resting on a rustic wooden surface. The crisp leaves and pale stems are illuminated with quiet precision, revealing subtle variations in tone and texture. Set against a softly shadowed backdrop, the vibrant foliage assumes a graceful, almost lyrical presence. Stone’s meticulous technique transforms this humble vegetable into a refined study of form, light and natural simplicity.
“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”.
