Luke Stones / Spatial Flatness #2
Here is the second portion of my artist statement.
Compositionally the paintings force the idea of a labyrinth style framework. There’s a constant wondering of what’s behind the highly dominating structures. The background sets the scene as an eternal vastness with the shapes almost invading the soft surroundings. This makes the scale of the architectural forms very hard to depict.
The shapes themselves are taken from our everyday life, dimensions of a room, and angles of walls. Everything that delivers three dimensions within the real world is transformed into a metaphorical void within the canvas, providing spatial depth within a two dimensional form.
