Giampaolo Abbondio // Robert W.O. Stone

Bio

Robert W.O. Stone was born in London in 1981, where he undertook an artistic training at the Slade School of Fine Art. His work has been displayed in several personal exhibitions and group shows since 1999, both nationally and internationally.
The painting of Robert Stone is happily wicked, liquid, without rules and academicisms. A painting which, on the contrary, seeks for a tailor-made world, some place inside the mind where individuals allow themselves anomalous spaces, boredom and fix looks, creative freedom, erotic abandon.
What appears is the erotic tension of David Hockney, his elegant and lecherous individualism, the power of an intimate narration that raises palpable emotions. But the painting is also an accumulation of planes and stratifications, born from models in the way of R. B. Kitaj.
Robert Stone paints people in their elective environment, erecting around them sudden openings on landscape, fragmenting the scene with appropriate scraps and inserts. It’s impossible to enclose Stone in any genre, just as the Post-war British Painting proves us today. Robert W.O. Stone lives and works in Berlin, Germany.
