Podenco Lips - Christopher Stone

The composition focuses on the expressive profile of a Podenco, portrayed with oversized, soulful eyes and a subtle, almost human-like smile that gives the painting its playful title. Set against a vivid purple background with warm red accents, the artwork creates a powerful contrast that enhances the dog's graceful features while conveying warmth, personality, and charm.

Christopher Stone's signature style combines influences from Expressionism, Cubism, and contemporary figurative art, resulting in a composition that is both visually bold and emotionally engaging. His use of simplified forms and dynamic colour combinations allows the personality of the subject to shine through while leaving space for personal interpretation. Every brushstroke reflects the artist's unique ability to capture emotion through abstraction.

He trained at Hornsey College of Art and Central Saint Martins in London, and spent 18 years working alongside the sculptor Barry Flanagan, contributing to the production of major works now part of the international contemporary art landscape.

Working across sculpture in corten steel, bronze, and fiberglass, as well as painting on paper and canvas, Stone has developed a distinctive visual language combining industrial form, humour, colour, and narrative instinct. His practice moves between large-scale public sculpture and more intimate works on paper, unified by a strong sense of immediacy and composition. His work is held in private collections across Europe and beyond.

Stone is currently exhibiting at the Art and Soul International Sculpture Exhibition in Ireland alongside leading international artists including Salvador Dalí, Andy Warhol, Banksy, Damien Hirst, and Tracey Emin.

He is represented by Gormley’s Fine Art (Ireland) and Olas Gallery (Ibiza). While his career has largely unfolded outside the mainstream spotlight, his work has gained steady recognition from collectors, galleries, and fellow artists over many years of continuous practice.

Based in Ibiza, Stone continues to produce new sculpture and painting, drawing on a lifelong engagement with material, form, and visual storytelling.
