Work Description
- Media Digital painting on linen
- Location 1F, The Lounge & Bar, LOTTE HOTEL WORLD
Matthew Stone's work shows a bold development in the technical, theoretical, and aesthetic fields of his practice. He hand-paints on glass, photographs the brushstrokes, digitally retouches and collages them, and prints the result onto canvas. This approach ushers in a new age of conventional painting, introducing fresh possibilities to convey the sense of movement and entanglement inherent in his compositions. By skillfully utilizing digital media, the artist intricately weaves and manipulates individual gestures into dynamic tableaux. Stone's recent incorporation of artificial intelligence technology further expands the boundaries of creating art, prompting viewers to reevaluate the essence of representation.
