Composed of layered bands of yellow, coral, turquoise, blue, and pink, the image is built from draped fragments of fabric digitally arranged into an immersive composition, enlivened with tactility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs Stone describes, “there are no bodies, but all of the shapes within it are essentially bits of fabric that are draped over bodies.” The work moves between precision and spontaneity, with strands of color that create a strong sense of movement across the surface. “I’m definitely an aesthetically motivated artist,” Stone notes. “I care really deeply about the sensory experience of images.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes this edition unique is its dimensional surface. Printed on matte linen paper, areas of the image are layered with gloss textures and raised edges that emphasize the movement of individual brushstrokes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs Stone explains, “What’s really exciting about this print is that I’ve realised some surface texture potential. We’re printing with something that’s digital embossing, but the paper itself is not embossed. It’s more a case of being able to print dimensional texture to the surface, laying down layers and building up a clear glossy topology to sections of the image.” Reworked specifically for this edition, an image becomes something sculptural and immersive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProceeds from the sale of this edition benefit the Ali Forney Center, supporting LGBTQ+ youth with housing and other essential services.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Artspace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48508131606628,"sku":"5056880812450","price":1375.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0711\/5292\/6820\/files\/ProductPrint_72DPI_2e49125b-1172-470d-869c-0a2ae4a22439.jpg?v=1780399300","url":"https:\/\/www.phaidon.com\/en-int\/products\/matthew-stone-holding-removed-5056880812450","provider":"Phaidon","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
