The Hole is proud to announce a new solo show from Matthew Stone

Choi&Lager Gallery presents small awakenings by British artist Matthew Stone. Following on from Back into the Body in 2017, this will be Stone’s second solo exhibition at the gallery in Seoul, showcasing new works he has developed over the past year.

Stone begins by photographing real paint strokes, which he then cuts out and combines using various graphics and 3D modeling software. This process enables the artist to paint onto sculptural models whilst navigating a 3D virtual space. This space is eventually committed to a fixed vantage point, rendered and printed onto raw linen. The resulting imagery depicts dynamic bodies, tumbling drapery and isolated abstract gestural marks that seem to float with an enlarged sense of space and depth. Rather than functioning as purely illusionistic marks used to suggest real world space, Stone’s brushstrokes are also often singular objects in and of themselves and in their own world.
