Bill Stone
Prolific American painter Bill Stone portrays a world that is bursting with color. He is known for his vivid abstract paintings, each a study of the interplay between color, texture and movement. He views painting as not only a physical and mental exercise but a spiritual one, with each piece functioning as a portal to another space and time.
Stone was born in 1958 and grew up in rural Massachusetts. He studied fine and commercial art at the Vesper George School of Art in Boston and began a graphic design career, initially working at a magazine publisher. He soon became a creative art director at an international advertising agency based in Chicago. The fast-paced nature of this work, which involved creating television commercial storyboards, influenced Stone’s approach to his art. Like in advertising, his goal is to capture and hold people’s attention.
Stone began exhibiting his artwork in 2004, garnering acclaim for his rich use of color and bold paint strokes. His paintings invite the viewer to become lost in their engrossing visual quality and reflect on their emotional response. Stone cites artists like Pablo Picasso, Vincent van Gogh and Claude Monet as inspirations. He was particularly struck by van Gogh’s The Starry Night when he saw it at the Museum of Modern Art in New York as a child.
Stone paints by using thick oils on canvas. His process begins with flowing lines that keep the eye moving around the canvas as if in a hypnotic trance. He then layers the painting with a depth of color that encourages the viewer to see something new every time.
Stone’s dynamic paintings are exhibited in hotels, restaurants, wineries, public spaces and private homes worldwide. He currently works out of a studio in Colorado Springs and takes inspiration from its beautiful natural surroundings.

- Woman, 1986 - oil paint, 142x114 cm., framedBy Damiano BernardLocated in Nice, FROil on canvas, signed back Bernard Damiano ne découvre sa ville natale, Coni, qu'en 1935, après neuf années d'émigration familiale avec son père Pietro (1895-1964), sa mère Rosa (née en 1897) et sa sœur Angela2, en Alsace, puis à Vallauris. En 1940, en même temps qu'il fait l'apprentissage du métier de taillage de la pierre dans l'atelier Revello à Coni, Bernard Damiano se lie, par des affinités artistiques et littéraires, d'une amitié durable avec le futur poète et linguiste Sergio Arneodo : plus tard, ils s'attacheront communément à la valorisation culturelle et spirituelle d'un village du Val Grana, Sancto-Lucio de Coumboscuro3. Trouvant un emploi de tailleur de pierre et de marbre à Tende (Alpes-Maritimes) en 1948 (c'est là qu'il rencontre son épouse Giselle2), puis d'ébéniste à Nice en 1951, il vit successivement à Nice, Villefranche-sur-Mer, Vallauris, puis de nouveau Nice où, dans un atelier situé dans un sous-sol de la rue Benoit Bunico4 dans le Vieux-Nice, il peint tout en étudiant les peintres de la Renaissance et les impressionnistes. Lors de sa première exposition personnelle (Nice 1958, suivie rapidement de participations à des salons), Bernard Damiano reçoit les encouragements du peintre niçois Sylvain Vigny (1904-1970) avec qui il restera en relations. Sa vie à Nice est interrompue par deux années à Paris (Bernard réside alors rue Saint-Vincent, au cœur de la vie montmartroise), coïncidant avec sa première exposition personnelle dans la capitale, de 1966 et 1968. Il obtient la nationalité française en octobre 1974 et se partage dès lors entre Nice et San Remo2. C'est précisément au cours de la décennie 1970 que la peinture de Bernard Damiano est dite s'éloignant d'une parenté avec Jean Dubuffet, l'Art brut ou le mouvement Cobra pour, dans « une touche nerveuse et une pâte triturée »5, puiser son style dans la suite de l'expressionnisme6. Cette proposition est toutefois énoncée avec réserve : à l'instar de l'espagnol Eduardo Pisano, Bernard n'a jamais daté ses œuvres, reprenant et retouchant même souvent un même tableau pendant plusieurs années. C'est peut-être dans l'usage du « trait-couleur et du flamboiement des chairs...Category
