Doug Stone (1951– ) is a multi-media artist from Toronto. His diverse body of work ranges from furniture, abstract paintings, collages, and textual scrawl. Elements of his work are deeply autobiographical, such as the collaged notes from his death bed that document his experience with illness, recovery, and carrying on with life in spite of a deadly diagnosis.
Stone received a BFA from the University of Guelph in 1974. He owned a high-tech furniture store on Queen Street East in Toronto in the 1970s, and he was known for his inventive table design made of recycled pop bottles filled with sand in the 1980s. In 1991, he attended the Triangle Artist’s Workshop in Pine Plains, New York. Stone’s work has been the subject of a number of solo exhibitions across Canada and the United States, and he has received commissions from the Ontario Veterinary College and TD Canada Trust.
