Signed Stone (lower right)
In Worcester Pearmains on White Linen, Paul Stone presents a quietly meticulous study of form and ripeness. The lustrous red skins, set against crisp white linen and a velvety black ground, evoke the Dutch still-life tradition while remaining rooted in a contemporary reverence for 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”.
