Lot Report

Note:

Canadian artist Douglas Stone’s work often “blurs the definition of painting with an immediacy and intimacy of mark-making and found objects.” Through an evocative use of symbolism, many of his powerful works read as a seemingly personal iconography. Much of Stone’s most recent body of work is based on figurative drawing and is largely inspired by natural landscapes. Stone’s oeuvre, which is considerably varied and complex, increasingly includes new media, including photography. After many years away, Stone has recently returned to his work as a professional artist; he was the subject of an exciting and successful exhibition at Toronto’s Al Green Gallery in 2010.
