Born 1974, Ireland
the artist lives and works in Ovum Studio, Clonmel, Co.Tipperary, Ireland

My multidisciplinary work is primarily concerned with consumption/consummation in its various incarnations be it mental, political and/or carnal; incorporating the means by which such media (i.e. food, propaganda/news, sexual mores) is prepared, conveyed and digested. As befits this conception my influences are wide ranging and eclectic, often combining disparate sources and genres to create new mixed-media hybrids. Subsequently my recent methodology seeks to combine digital and traditional print-making techniques.

(Sometimes though I just draws for the sake of it and then tries to make sense of it later. Y’know, juxtaposition between consciousness, unconsciousness and semi-controlled happenstance)

Statement

Using ink, graphite, gouache and silk screened elements I create drawings of abstracted landscapes. Nature and man made debris organically meld to form scenes that reference the calm of the aftermath. I’m interested in the visual overabundance we’re surrounded by; the psychotic reality of a visual culture that has lost all coherence. Drawing from the wealth of printed media that fills our world: electronics catalogues, Jahova witness brochures, touristic city souvenir booklets, etc. I attempt to create compositions that both reference depictions from a familiar fable and a world of abstracted groupings that seem to grow organically, reproductively. I interested in a time line or narrative unfolding within a work. Piles of speakers, car parts, mattresses, lumber, coffins, vegetables, etc. sprawl out and compete with deteriorating architecture and mountain-scapes.

Born 1965, Germany
the artist lives and works in Amberg, Germany

Stefan Stock

1965 geboren in Amberg

1986 - 91 Studium in Regensburg

1991 - 2002 Augenoptiker in Amberg

seit 2000 regionale Einzel- u. Gemeinschaftsausstellungen

seit 2003 selbstständig

Stocks Skulpturen zielen auf genaue Untersuchung. Seine Grundmaterialien sind verschiedene Metallvarianten. Die meisten Dinge sind Alltagsgegenstände und fordern die Betrachtung aus mehreren Blickwinkeln. Seine reinen Skulpturen verbinden harmonisch bekannte Formen. Die Gebrauchsgegenstände basieren ebenfalls auf Metallkonstruktionen, nur wird ihnen durch unerwartete Materialien und Gegenstände manchmal eine amüsante Note verliehen. Stocks Hintergrund als Optiker ermöglicht ihm, durch feine Details eine große Wirkung zu erzielen. Die Lötstellen seiner Skulpturen sind genau austariert, um die Harmonie des ganzen in seiner Wirkung vollkommen zur Geltung zu bringen. Gerade die praktischen Aspekte seiner Werke geben ihnen eine edle Eleganz.
