Art by Mike Stone
Art in some ways has been described as the conscious production or arrangement of sounds, colors, forms, movements, or other elements in a manner that affects the sense of beauty. Specifically the production of the beautiful in a graphic or plastic medium. Mike Stone draws inspiration from Abstract Expressionism, Pop Art and Urban Graffiti. For the past ten years his work has become more symbolic and abstract and less dependent on figures to convey his motivations and desires.
Born in Brooklyn, New York in 1973 where he currently works and resides, Mike Stone's current work is a mix of abstraction and still life’s. He also gets direct inspiration from music (mostly avant-garde jazz and hip-hop) and the process of his emotions of everyday life.
He has recently donated these three abstract paintings to Hip-HopTV24/7.org Incorporated to be auctioned off to raise funds for the development of the website and computer equipment for the youth telecast staff. The auction will begin December 5, 2008. For more information email us @ info@hiphoptv247.org
His work was recently featured in the Art of Seduction exhibit at Bathhouse Studios in New York city hosted by KING Magazine and JC Cognac. There was an silent auction that took place and proceeds from the auction went to Silent Voices United, a nonprofit focused on empowering and educating today's inner-city youth.
Mike Stone is currently continuing his studies at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York with an emphasis on painting and drawing.
