Robert Stone

(1961 - , San Francisco California) 

Robert Stone is a painter and sculptor working in San Francisco. His paintings focus on the manipulation of space, light, scale, and form to create a visceral engagement with viewers.

Complex geometric compositions are made of thickly-applied paint on supports of raw linen. The works blur the boundaries between two-dimensional and three-dimensional space, and between precise mechanical production and the handmade gesture. As a viewer moves and interacts with each work, light and shadow shift across the picture plane causing elements to advance and recede, appear and disappear. The interplay of sharply delineated structure against empty, negative space suggests architectural and sculptural dimension, and the life-size scale draws viewers into an all-encompassing experience. The works can also evoke real-world associations — such as landscapes, technology, machinery, mineral and geological forms — and embrace the ambiguity of potential narratives.
