Doug Stone; Mixed Media Triptych

Doug Stone was born in 1951 in Simcoe, Ontario and received his B.F.A. from the University of Guelph.  His body of work is very varied and complex and has been ever changing.  His paintings have been described as "unique in intimacy of symbolism, and immediacy."  He has exhibited in Toronto, Paris and New York as well as other cities throughout North America.




This monumental and magnificent triptych was completed over the course of five years from 1986-1991.  It is a highly energetic, highly complex, and very vibrant mix of broad colorful swatches and little dribbles of paint, frenzied pencil scribbles and little drawings.  The scale, energy, intensity and richness of this piece stop short of overwhelming and leave you enthralled, wanting to return to it over and over again to explore some more.  Each panel is 91" h. Left panel is 47" w., center is 48" w., right is 42"w.  SOLD
