Luke Stones / Spatial Flatness #1
Below is the first installment of my artist statement. I’ve split the statement into four sections (One for each painting). By doing this you able to concentrate on different aspects of the paintings makeup.
My work deals with space and atmosphere. I create illusionary three dimensional spaces within the confines of a two dimensional canvas.
The paintings offer contrasts, in terms of what the viewer sees and feels. The work plays on the viewer and creates a struggle as to what they consider to be actual space.
The audience is made to feel like they could step inside the void but at the same time they are repressed by an unknown aspect of the painting. Offering an organic contradiction throughout all aspects of the paintings makeup.
