James Stone's paintings serve as meditations on words, information and communication. Influenced by decades in the software industry, Stone explores the unseen aspects of our digital culture. His process examines the hidden ones and zeros that form the binary codes essential for unlocking communication in our daily lives. The seemingly random numbers suggest a hidden dialogue that interacts with his post-neo-expressionist approach while also delving into deeper meanings.

His abstract binary series reflects on the profound concept of "I AM," highlighting how self-identity is shaped by the words shared in digital landscapes. Through our digital devices, we express thoughts and emotions as words, which are then converted into binary by computers and translated back into spoken language. This process invites dialogue across various philosophical contexts, including self-existence, oneness, and the nature of self.
