Edward Stone

Edward Stone was born in Berkshire in 1940, the eldest son of the distinguished wood engraver and painter Reynolds Stone. He was educated at Eton and Hammersmith College of Art, where he studied mural design. After college he worked as an assistant to the muralist George Mitchell. Later Stone worked part time as a day care officer in the Health Service, supporting himself while beginning a long process of discovering painting.

In 1980 Stone was a contributor to the Gallery's theme exhibition, Women Washing and seven years later he participated in Now, Fair River..., an exhibition inspired by the River Thames and shown at Hay's Wharf, London. In 1989 his work was shown in Blue and White: Still life on a classic theme by contemporary painters and in 1995 he contributed to the Jazz Exhibition. In 2000 he participated in The Art of Memory: Contemporary Painters in search of Marcel Proust, shown the following year at the National Theatre on the South Bank. Edward Stone has held one-man exhibitions with Francis Kyle Gallery in 1988, 1990, 1992, 1997, 2000 and 2003.
