London, United Kingdom, b. 1982

Matthew Stone has developed a distinctive painterly language through the use of 3D imaging and digital processes, constructing the human figure through dynamic, multicoloured brushstrokes. He begins by hand-painting on glass, photographing these gestures, and digitally collaging them with forms created in 3D software. The resulting compositions are printed onto canvas, combining the material qualities of traditional painting with contemporary technologies. More recently, Stone has introduced oil on linen into his practice, merging printed imagery with hand-painted interventions to further blur the boundaries between methods. This ongoing exploration reflects his attempt to redefine painting as a genre, while engaging with contemporary questions surrounding the nature of human existence.
