Thank you to everyone who came out to Jack Stone’s retrospective at the Continental Club in Greensboro. Your presence, conversations, and support made the evening truly memorable.

Frank Russell (10-15-1952 to 1-19-2026) dedication 1-20-2026

I dedicate the "Partial Truths and Outright Fabrications" show to a man we all know and love, the madly prolific Frank Delano Russell.

Partial Truths and Outright Fabrications, on display at the Continental Club on January 26, 2026

A display of paintings by Jack Stone, done since about late 1980's

This current grouping, “Partial Truths and Outright Fabrications”, taps into roughly four decades of painting. Some of it has been on a wall before, much of it never. As a “retrospective”, it is heavy on more recent work. The title reflects the temper of the times, the internal and external vagaries of human self-presentation and interaction.

"The hero version of the self reaches a point of recognition that he is hopelessly surrounded and infiltrated by 'enemies' mortal and metaphysical. His sword droops in a moment of lassitude – which is the moment of truth. Will he rally?

Of course. There is no alternative."
