Audrey Stone
b. 1967, United States
Biography
오드리 스톤(b.1964, 미국)은 자연에서 경험하는 평온함과 고조되는 상반된 인상을 회화적 착시를 통해 담아낸다. 짙은 농도로 천에 스며든 물감은 정교한 면의 분할을 거쳐, 감성 너머의 이성적 사유 과정을 드러낸다. 화면을 가로지르는 자연을 닮은 곡선과 넓고 좁은 색면의 띠는 끊임없이 진동하며 자연의 리듬으로 끌어드리며 인간을 거대한 자연의 흐름 속 하나의 유기체로 회귀시킨다. 오드리가 바라본 자연은 삶의 찬란함 뿐만 아니라 죽음이라는 부재의 감각까지도 포용한다. 따라서 화면 위에 구현된 장엄한 자연은 존재와 부재의 고요함이 공존하는 명상적 공간이 된다.
오드리 스톤은 뉴욕 프랫대학교에서 학사를, 헌터대학교에서 석사를 수료했다. 워싱턴 Winston Wachter Gallery(2022, 2024), Morgan Lehman Gallery(2018, 2020, 2023), A.I.R Gallery(1988) 등에서 약 11번의 개인전에 참여하였다. 이외에도 뉴욕 The National Art Clubs(2016), 조지아 Columbus Museum(2016), 브루클린 Kentler International Drawing Space(7회), Morgan Leman Gallery(2회), Geoffrey Young Gallery(10회) 등에서 활발한 활동을 해왔다.
한국에서는 로이갤러리에서 처음으로 작품을 선보인다.

By Two
Winston Wachter Gallery, Seattle, WA
2024
Winston Wächter Fine Art Seattle is pleased to announce our first solo exhibition with Brooklyn-based painter Audrey Stone. By Two is a series of paintings that engage the physical and figurative aspects of mirroring, as softly and attentively gradated compositions reflect each other through literal symmetry and stark visual balance. Through diptychs, paired paintings of the same series, and individual paintings with distinct compositional halves, Stone paints thin bands of gradually shifting color that complicate the divide between geometric abstraction and soft edged painting. The luminous “Ceiling” and “Safe Passage” series’ illicit the transportive framing of a window into formless sky, while the multi-panel “Way Down” and “Bend to Bend” present reciprocity through glowing parallels. In all of Stone’s paintings, colors melt into each other while retaining solid, distinct forms continuously ascending to a fever pitch of harmony.
“The recurrent compositional element of symmetry provides inherent strength and harmony, akin to pulling the Lovers card in the Tarot, signifier of the bonds of relationship. That card is also associated with healing, and as I look around at a world that feels ever more divisive and oppositional, my desire is to offer a space to experience a sense of union and uplift. I hope these paintings are reflective of love, in my mind the most powerful antidote and perhaps the only solution to troubled times.” — Audrey Stone
Audrey Stone’s work has been exhibited widely across the United States, as well as in Austria, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, England, France, and Japan. She has shown in group exhibitions at the Andy Warhol Museum, the Arkansas Art Center, the Columbus Museum, Kentler International Drawing Space, Schema Projects, and the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. Her work is in the collections of the Charles Schwab Print Program, NYU Langone, Cleveland Clinic, Credit Suisse, Fidelity Investments, New York Presbyterian Hospital, Sotheby’s London, and the Amateras Foundation in Sofia, Bulgaria. Stone lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.

Together and Apart
Morgan Lehman, New York, NY
2023
Morgan Lehman is pleased to announce the opening of “Together and Apart,” an exhibition of new paintings by Audrey Stone. This marks the artist’s third solo exhibition with the gallery.
The works on display are decidedly abstract in their pictorial content, yet conceptually rich and rooted in ideas both personal and universal. At the forefront of Stone’s recent conceptual interests is the notion of reflection or mirroring. The artist has been taking stock of her studio practice, looking backward at past bodies of work and the shape of her creative trajectory to move forward as a painter. This very vulnerable act of looking into the proverbial mirror gave rise to a group of new paintings that possess a quiet knowing and self-awareness. They illustrate an evolution in Stone’s practice while highlighting the artist’s time-honored strengths as a colorist and arranger of image space.
The most noticeable change is a shift from Stone’s established single-panel painting format to an embrace of diptychs and multi-panel works, which physicalize the mirror concept. The artist determines the orientation of the diptychs in advance, but makes room for the element of chance when working on the multi-panel paintings. She explains: “I make the four-panel pieces without any set expectation of the final composition, allowing me to take a leap of faith that the work will arrive at an orientation that feels right, while also accepting that perhaps the puzzle has more than one ‘right’ solution.” Stone pushes this open-endedness further by polling her peers on social media and inviting them to engage in a sort of virtual group studio visit. This dialogue helps the artist arrive at and understand the reasons behind her compositional decisions, and has the added benefit of breaking up the isolation of painting solo in the studio.
In creating her signature color gradients, Stone is always thinking about visual pacing and rhythm. This is similar to how a composer might craft a melodic progression of individual notes; her experience of calibrating these color moments is sensorial and bodily. The artist has traditionally relied on taping to achieve crisp edges in her work, but prefers to think of herself as a “soft-edge” painter, allowing some bleed to take place between color bands that helps the hues breathe and intermingle. The latest paintings feature un-taped, hand-brushed edges, a new type of painting move for Stone that plays against the tighter taped zones. The effect is a gentler and perhaps more atmospheric formal sensibility that proposes a new direction for the work while questioning painters’ sometimes curious embrace of certain studio tools while rejecting others.
The paintings on display embody Stone’s self-reflective energies but also consider the relationship between the self and the community. Painting is a solitary activity and yet artists often yearn to connect with other people through their work. For Stone, the definition of community goes beyond a group of artist peers and art world professionals to encompass a larger idea of collectivity: where are we going as a society? In many ways, these paintings reflect a sense of being both alone and a part of the community. They are the result of Stone’s meditations on the fluidity, overlap, and contradictions of these entities, proposing tough questions without easy answers.
Audrey Stone received her MFA from Hunter College and her BFA from Pratt Institute, both in painting. She studied at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design and was selected for the Artist in The Marketplace program at the Bronx Museum of the Arts. Her work has been exhibited across the United States, as well as in Austria, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, England, France and Japan. Recent solo exhibitions include a 2021 show at Kenise Barnes Fine Art in Kent, CT, and a 2020 solo exhibition, “By Fire,” at Morgan Lehman Gallery. Stone has shown in group exhibitions at the Andy Warhol Museum, the Arkansas Art Center, The Columbus Museum, the Flinn Gallery, Geoffrey Young Gallery, Kentler International Drawing Space, McKenzie Fine Art, ODETTA Gallery, and Winston Wachter Seattle. In 2023, Stone became a member of the American Abstract Artists, a historic artist-run organization, and attended the Surf Point Foundation artist residency. Her work is in the collections of the Amateras Foundation, Charles Schwab Print Program, Cleveland Clinic, Credit Suisse, Fidelity Investments, and New York Presbeterian Hospital, amongst others. The artist lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.

Elastic Bandwidth
McKenzie Fine Art, New York, NY
2023
Elastic Bandwidth features five abstract artists who employ banded color as a significant feature in their work: Paul Corio, Takuji Hamanaka, Jenny Kemp, Audrey Stone, and Deborah Zlotsky.
Paul Corio constructs his dynamic “ribbon” paintings using interlocking triangles in a variety of disciplined color sequences that progress from a light value and resolve to dark. The bands of color, both zigzagging and straight, are set against contrasting grounds and suggest movement, velocity, as well as an unstable pictorial space. While some ribbons appear to travel deep into a shimmering, perspectival depth, others appear to lie flat along the picture plane.
Takuji Hamanaka’s recent works are inspired by the constant and seemingly eternal flow of waterfalls. He uses vivid color and repeated structures to suggest a similar quality of endless movement. Working with the Bokashi technique of woodblock printing, the artist prints multiple small papers in gradient color which are then carefully cut and collaged onto a larger sheet. Set against a background of softly modulated bands of black and white, intensely colored ribbons of gradient color arc and undulate to create a strong illusion of cylindrical volume or gently rippling movement.
Curving bands of vibrant, solid color undulate, intertwine, and blossom outward in Jenny Kemp’s intuitively constructed paintings. Employing subtle hue gradations from band to band, they form larger, comb and wing-like structures. The structures intersect and stretch across irregular, buoyantly patterned compositions, suggesting internal rhythms and the natural forces of growth and change.
Audrey Stone employs narrow bands of vibrant color in her gradient paintings. Primarily rectilinear, her arrangements can be suggestive of architectural spaces, but also the body, as straight vertical lines gently arc into tunnels or passageways of lighter or darker colors. Luminous and pulsating, the internal rhythms of the paintings can feel fast or slow, with an effect akin to a physical, vibratory experience.
Deborah Zlotsky explores abstract vocabularies extracted from coded imagery and graphic material culture to examine the Jewish experience. Referencing historical systems of identification, she creates spaces of beauty and humor, using vivid stripes and bands coupled with trompe l’oeil passages to convey the complexity of concealment, generational dynamics, and diasporic movement.

Sky Hold Coast Close Through Valley
Kenise Barnes Fine Art, Kent, CT
2021
Observing shifting color and light in nature is an ecstatic experience for me. I find myself simultaneously excited and calm, a dynamic opposition I seek to generate in my work through the interplay of line and subtle gradients of color.
In my current paintings, I use the boundaries between broad and narrow bands of adjacent colors to generate visual vibration. I am intrigued by the way the eye and brain process these transitions, informing the viewer’s emotional and physical responses.
Beyond color and composition, underlying themes tie the paintings together into series: the giving and receiving of information; concepts of infinity and containment; equality; relationship of self to others; and more recently death, loss, and absence. Although these subjects are not meant to be absolute in the work, they play a part in both the conception and the process of making.

By Fire 2nd installation
Morgan Lehman Gallery, NYC
2021
Morgan Lehman is thrilled to present “By Fire”, Audrey Stone’s second solo exhibition with the gallery.
“By Fire” is a series of eighteen abstract paintings first set in motion following the loss of the artist’s mother in 2019. Stone found herself thinking frequently of Leonard Cohen’s song, “Who by Fire,” a modern interpretation of the ancient Hebrew liturgical poem, “Unetaneh Tokef,” which is recited each year during the Jewish High Holy Days. Both the song and the poem muse on the question of who will live and who will die, (and how), in the year to come.
Stone’s paintings are equal parts phenomenological, referential, and emotional. Her frequent use of color gradients is a process of marking time, each color becoming a signifier of slow, methodical labor. In some paintings, each new color band represents a single day of work. Using the structure of the rectangle and the words of the poem as guides, the artist explores new ways of building and manipulating pictorial space, creating vibratory color environments that play with the viewer’s perception. In some works, vacant areas of canvas left ‘blank’ are an expression of absence. Always working in series, Stone decided to conclude “By Fire” at 18 paintings because in Judaism 18 is the numerological equivalent of the word, “chai,” – life. After addressing so much loss, it felt important to the artist to reconnect to the living.
Though inspired by personal events, Stone’s “By Fire” series also speaks to larger notions of loss: the sociopolitical, economic, ecological, and medical tragedies that have challenged humanity of late. The three eponymous “By Fire” paintings are at once a reference to a fire in Stone’s father’s home and to the devastating wildfires that have ravaged California and Australia. The painting, “By Breath, By Air,” came together as the world learned that Covid-19 is transmitted primarily through the air, but also reflects upon the horrific death of George Floyd, whose last breaths were forcibly stolen from him. “By Six” records the six people that the artist recently lost and echoes the words of the epidemiologist who predicted that we would each know six people who died from Covid-19 by the time the pandemic was over. The 18th and final painting in the series, “By Stone,” refers to the line, “Who by stoning?,” in the Hebrew poem, speaking to the back-and-forth throwing of stones that has come to dominate our national discourse and the news cycle. Of course, in a touch of levity, it’s also a wink to the artist herself, and her very personal act of creation.
Audrey Stone received her MFA from Hunter College and her BFA from Pratt Institute, both in painting. She also studied at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design and was selected for the Artist in the Marketplace program at the Bronx Museum of the Arts. Her work has been exhibited widely across the United States, as well as in Austria, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, England, France, and Japan. Recent exhibitions include a 2018 solo exhibit of her paintings at Morgan Lehman Gallery, a two-person show at Muriel Guepin Gallery in 2015, and a solo exhibit of a thread-based installation on Governor’s Island in 2014. She has shown in group exhibitions at the Andy Warhol Museum, the Arkansas Art Center, the Columbus Museum, Kenise Barnes Fine Art, Geoffrey Young Gallery, Jeff Bailey Gallery, Kentler International Drawing Space, ODETTA Gallery, Schema Projects, and the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. Her work is in the collections of New York Presbyterian Hospital, Cleveland Clinic, Credit Suisse, Fidelity Investments and the Amateras Foundation in Sofia, Bulgaria. Stone lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.
