Product information
Simon Stone "Collected Works" by Lloyd Pollak, South African Artist Monograph, In excellent condition.
Simon Stone has been hailed as one of South Africas finest painters. Working predominantly in oils, he can be described as a lyrical and narrative Neo-Expressionist. Austere and delicate, his paintings revel in an exploration of colour, form and composition. Stones paintings are unashamedly traditional with a twist. They possess an aura of alterity and anonymity, whilst appearing routinely familiar. He creates a semi-Surrealist, alternative world around habitually solitary figures; beautifully painted and layered with complex meaning, recurring motifs, personal metaphysics and a strange sense of the mundane. Stones paintings have been described as seductive and enticing.
Having originally graduated from Michaelis School of Fine Art in 1976, Stone later continued his education in Italy. Since 1978, he has exhibited widely, both locally and abroad. Considered the poet of inner city Johannesburg, Stone was an important influence on and part of a generation of painters during the halcyon era of South African art during the eighties and nineties.
