Richard Stone presents a showcase of new works together for the first time at Burgh House, a Grade I listed building in Hampstead, London.Taking the figure and landscape as classical reference points, Stone presents something altogether different. Cloaked figures face outwards towards landscapes they cannot see whilst landscapes disintegrate and reform as new transient vistas. From Caspar David Friedrich through references to Turner, vanitas and superheroes, the exhibition includes visually delicate erased antique paintings and figures slowly engulfed in ghostly and seductive auras of amorphous wax.
