William Stone "Framed"
James Fuentes LLC
This event has ended.
James Fuentes LLC presents William Stone's forthcoming solo exhibition; Framed, this will be the artist's third solo show at the gallery. The exhibition will primarily feature reconstituted paintings - the earliest of which date back to the eighteenth century.
Employing reverse paintings, commissioned portraits and landscapes - the artists's revisions give these events, which were on the brink of being forgotten, new life. These works speak to qualities inherent in these varied genres of painting; as well as their desire to render, consecrate and awe.
William Stone's work categorically looks at everyday objects and the way they occupy the human condition. From his earliest works that incorporated water and wind into household furnishings to his more recent inventions and revisions of chairs - the artist's use of everyday objects supplies an endless resource of materials. Stone's practice is steeped in poetics and mechanics resulting in works that offer as many semiotic connotations as they do visual ones.
