EDITOR’S LETTER Welcome to Jetset in 2014 For our first issue of this new year, we’ve lined up an exciting array of travel destinations, luxury lifestyle features and insights from leading experts for you.

M. DAMAS, M.D. SEA BLUE NEUROLOGY CENTER, P.A. GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE RESIDENCY, UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA FELLOWSHIP, JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY

GLOBAL CONCIERGE SERVICE TREATING ALL NEUROLOGICAL DISEASES: Stroke, Headache, Seizure, Parkinson’s Disease, Alzheimer’s Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Neuropathy, Vertigo, Dementia, Brain Tumor, Weakness, Memory loss, Tremor, Back pain, Dizziness, etc.

(954) 796-9060 24-hours: (561) 452-8080 “Providing home concierge service to Florida residents.” www.seablueneurology.com

Maybe you picked up this issue at, or returning from, one of the many world-class events we are proud to help sponsor and be part of. Or maybe Shakira’s wry and sassy smile on the cover caught your eye and you picked this issue up in an FBO on your way out of town or the country. Or possibly, you saw it waiting for you in your mailbox and have now found time in your busy schedule and productive life to dive in and enjoy it. However it happened, we are grateful you are here. 2014 is going to be a big year for Jetset as you continue to see our ultra-affluent brand and footprint expand digitally. We’ll have prominent roles at some of the most glamorous, exciting and extravagant shows and events around the world, too. Make sure you continue to immerse yourself in all things Jetset throughout the year on our website, Jetsetmag.com. It is here where we bring you exclusive access into this incredible world we all live in and cover, and it’s the best place to stay current on relevant and newsworthy announcements and tap into incentives and promotions that only you can get. And it’s where we really pull back the curtain and take you inside the affluent lifestyle with our internal television coverage of the photo shoots, parties, events, rallies and shows we attend and support all year long. Now it’s time to bring on Issue One of 2014. If a resolution for you is to travel in a more grand and luxurious way, Emmanuel Lupe lays out the perfect way to do it in Paris, as he features three top Parisian hotels and restaurants: Hotel Le Meurice along with the restaurant Le Meurice Alain Ducasse, Hotel Mandarin Oriental Paris and its Sur Mesure restaurant, and finally, Hotel Shangri-La paired with L’Abeille restaurant. If you’re feeling a tad more adventurous, we’ll lay out the majesty of Southern Africa’s wilderness as we take you on a once-in-a-lifetime safari to Namibia, South Africa and Botswana, all to be enjoyed in five-star accommodations accompanied by some of the most stunning views in the entire world. We’re also going inside the world of super luxury cars in this issue (cars costing more than $100,000), which includes the Lamborghini Veneno Roadster ($4.4 million), the McLaren P1 ($1.2 million), the Jaguar XKR-S GT ($174,000) and just about everything in between. If your travel tastes are leaning towards the sea, we attended the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show recently, and came back armed with inside tips on great luxury yachting excursions to the British Virgin Islands and the Turks and Caicos, and we’ll also show you the very best vessels if you are looking to charter a yacht or purchase your own in 2014. Our CEO profile on TROV CEO Scot Walchek paints the picture of a dynamic entrepreneur in the Silicon Valley, and our roster of esteemed and accomplished regular contributors, including Robert Kiyosaki, Ken McElroy and Barry Labov, all deliver the knowledge you’ve come to expect. May the New Year be rewarding on all levels for you, and I hope Issue One of Jetset for 2014 plays a role in getting it off to a great start.

Christophe Claret Master Watchmaker BY KAREN BROST

W

hen Christophe Claret was just 14 years old, a chance visit to a watchmaker inspired him to make horology his life’s work. That turned out to be a wise choice. Today, the exceptional timepieces that bear his name are prized by collectors around the world. At Baselworld 2013, the company unveiled its latest masterpiece, the Kantharos monopusher chronograph. This automatic-winding timepiece features Christophe Claret’s signature cathedral gong that audibly chimes with each change of function. It is also equipped with a constant-force escapement which considerably reduces timing variations. According to the company, the watch’s perpetually moving mechanism produces a hypnotic visual effect. The Kantharos is available in 5 distinct variations including white or rose gold and titanium and full grey and black titanium. The timepiece incorporates an impressive 558 components and 75 jewels.

Also featuring the company’s patented cathedral gong, the Soprano wristwatch strikes musically-accurate, four-note Westminster Quarters. It contains four visible hammers, a 60-second tourbillon and stepped bridges inspired by the style of Charles X. It is available in a choice of red or white gold, each accented with titanium, and a black hand-sewn alligator strap. A limited edition of eight pieces will be offered for each version.

BEAUTY and the

BEAST in the

DESERT ASTON MARTIN’S VANQUISH VOLANTE AND VANTAGE S

By Emmanuel Lupe, Automotive Editor

J

etset Magazine’s Automotive Editor was recently invited to be one of the first U.S. media to test drive the latest two Aston Martin models launched by the Gaydon marquee: the luxurious 2014 Vanquish Volante and the extreme 2015 V12 Vantage S. Our three-day program gave us ample opportunity to experience the differing characters of these two new cars, “The Beauty” and “The Beast,” in the stylish surroundings of Palm Springs and the arid beauty of the California desert. 28

Following our first night in Palm Springs, it was time to select our new Vanquish Volante for the first of the two days of driving. Mounted on Pirelli P ZERO tires, the Aston Martin Vanquish Volante is the ultimate convertible Super GT and the first Volante to feature a full carbon fiber body. Benefitting from all of the technical, engineering and design advances present in the Vanquish coupe, the new Volante enhances the driving experience still further through the option of exciting convertible driving. On the mountain roads between Palm Desert and Aguanga, I was able to fully experience the car and its incredible engine. Instantly becoming the most beautiful car in its class, Vanquish Volante

crucially retains the coupe’s full breadth of dynamic character and sporting capability. It boasts the same new AM11 6.0-litre V12 ǡ ϐ ǡ meaning the top speed stands at 183 mph. The car features the third generation Brembo Carbon Ceramic Matrix (CCM) brakes to deliver shorter stopping distances with resistance to fade in even the most demanding driving conditions. To my eyes, the new $297,995 Vanquish Volante is the most beautiful car in its class. Perhaps one of the most striking interior ϐ more elegant form that is also more intuitive and accessible for both driver and front seat passenger. Issue 1 . 2014

TAKEOFF FUEL Day two of our desert driving experience started with a briefing with Aston Martin’s designers to let us know about this new Vantage S. Mountains, canyon roads and freeways were on the menu with a lunch in a Temecula winery. Taking just 3.7 seconds to sprint from 0-60 mph, the new sports car underlines its position as not only the brand’s fastest accelerating production car, but also the most potent Vantage in Aston Martin’s glittering 100-year history. On the tortuous roads between Palm Canyon and Warner Springs, I experienced one of the greatest driving

moments of my career behind the wheel of that Beast capable of reaching 205 mph, thanks to its new 565bhp AM28 6.0-litre V12 engine. The $184,995 2015 Aston Martin V12 Vantage S has been restyled to reflect its position as the flagship of the new Vantage range. Most noticeable, perhaps, is the car’s grille that does away with the famous aluminum vanes, replacing them with a new carbon fiber arrangement that also includes sporty black carbon fiber or titanium silver mesh.

CRUISING ALTITUDE ESCAPE

Some of the best seasons to visit Paris are the spring or in the summer when the Parisians are on vacation. We previewed three luxury hotels and their restaurants that have made a commitment to preserve the French and Parisian heritage. HOTEL LE MEURICE/RESTAURANT ALAIN DUCASSE Le Meurice is one of the most iconic Parisian gourmet hotels. As soon as you step into this palace hotel, you feel as though you’ve been transplanted to another dimension. Le Meurice is a museum, ǡ ϐ to the hotel’s public areas alone. Every one of the 160 rooms and suites, decorated in a style redolent of Louis XVI, is a peaceful oasis of calm, providing guests with the ultimate in luxury and plenty of memorable moments. Highly acclaimed by food writers worldwide, Alain Ducasse recently took over the management of the three Michelin star Le Meurice restaurant. Inside, you will be totally impressed by the restaurant’s main room, inspired by the Salon de la Paix at the Château de Versailles. Immediately after being seated at your table, you will understand the difference between a traditional restaurant and Le Meurice by Ducasse. The service is just impressive. Head chef Christophe Saintagne and Alain Ducasse have masterminded a seven-meal menu that is just an extraordinary experience of the senses where real ǡ ϐ ingredients. We recommend the young partridge pate, the turbot with olives, and the Roe deer with pepper sauce. The selection of wines is also out of this world. Dorchestercollection.com 38

HOTEL MANDARIN ORIENTAL PARIS/RESTAURANT SUR MESURE ǡ ϐ ǡ you feel as though you are entering into an extraordinary ancient world. The ceiling surrounding the front desk is made of 17,000 sheets of gold leaf, and the imposing mobile sculpture Air, designed ǡ ϐ Ǧ hotel’s 138 luxurious rooms and suites. The Mandarin is located on Rue St Honoré, one of the top streets for luxury shopping in the French capital. At Mandarin Oriental, hospitality is the key — the key that opens the most important door, the door to your heart. The master of culinary impetus, Chef Thierry Marx, one of the most celebrated chefs in France, invited us to experience his new “madeto-measure” lunch concept at Sur Mesure, the two Michelin star Ǥ ϐ Dz Ǧ dz ǡ ϐ based in tradition. The interior of Sur Mesure looks like a cozy cocoon, a white space away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The gastronomic restaurant’s décor is inspired by Parisian haute Ǥ ϐ the ultimate symbol of timeless elegance. Presented with an unusual ǡ ϐ Ǧ ǯ molecular cuisine. There is no word to describe this unique form of cuisine. We truly loved the experience. The soya risotto with oysters ϐ scallops with lobster bisque. Mandarinoriental.com/Paris Issue 1 . 2014

CRUISING ALTITUDE ESCAPE

HOTEL SHANGRI-LA/RESTAURANT L’ABEILLE We discovered a great number of luxury hotels, but the Shangri-La ϐ ǡ Ǥ Originally built in 1896 as the home of French Imperial Prince Roland Bonaparte, the iconic building once again welcomes Parisians and world travelers within its walls, 114 years after the prince ϐ society. Of course, if you decide to stay at this incredible place where the service is truly impeccable, you must select one of the 101 rooms or 36 suites featuring a breathtaking, direct view of the Eiffel Tower and the Seine River. We also recommend that you not close the blinds at night so you can dream all night long. From your bed you can almost touch the Eiffel Tower which continues to sparkle at the top of each hour at night, providing indelible memories. For lunch or dinner at Shangri-La, we recommend the two Michelin star restaurant, L’Abeille (the bee) that refers to the imperial insignia of the Bonaparte family, an emblem that has been subtly incorporated into the restaurant’s décor. Chef Philippe Labbé is one of the master French chefs. With his signature “essential cuisine,” Labbé offers dishes composed like a pitch-perfect musical scale, featuring highly creative modern variations on classic French dishes. We loved the duck foie gras coated in chocolate served two ways, the seared turbot ϐ ϐ black garlic. Most of the time, Labbé loves to greet his guests and spend a few moments talking about his dishes. Shangri-la.com/Paris 40

LAMBORGHINI VENENO ROADSTER The $4.4 million Lamborghini Veneno Roadster is one of the world’s most exclusive automobiles.

“FOUNDER OF HILTON HOTELS, CONRAD HILTON, UNDERSTOOD THE IMPORTANCE OF PUTTING HIS CUSTOMERS FIRST AND ENSURING THEY HAD THE MOST COMFORTABLE STAY AT HIS HOTEL AND THAT FOCUS ON CUSTOMER SERVICE CONTINUES TODAY THROUGHOUT THE COMPANY.” - BARRY LABOV 84

ustomer service is one of those things that many companies do incredibly well while others continuously struggle. Each year, Zogby Analytics, in partnership with MSN, releases a survey that rates the best and worst companies in the area of customer service. Those who provide the best customer service make it into the Hall of Fame; those who do not are listed in the Hall of Shame. While it’s interesting to see the names of the top 10 companies on each list, it’s even more interesting to learn the reason behind each ranking. The 2013 survey ranked nearly 150 brands based on input from more than 1,500 consumers. According to the survey, the top three things most important to customers are knowledgeable staff, service after the sale and friendly staff. So, it’s not surprising that many of the companies in the Hall of Fame were noted for being friendly and making it easy for customers to do business with them by keeping things simple — that includes anything from company policies to communications to the products or services themselves.

Customer consideration was another prevailing theme for those companies who made it to the Hall of Fame. A great example was from number three on the list, Hilton Hotels.

Several companies in the Hall of Shame received poor marks for not being open in their communication with customers. Not only is communication important in providing good customer service, it’s also essential in maintaining a relationship of trust with customers, which builds loyalty. When customers purchase products or services, they have certain expectations. For example, if a company says it will send a service person to a customer’s home during a certain time period, that customer expects the service person to show up. Three of the companies in the top 10 Hall of Shame received low marks for missing as many as three consecutive appointments with

I recently emailed a company about the low quality of a product I’d purchased, and the response I received went something like this: thanks for your feedback, we’ll pass your comment on to the quality department, we hope you’ll shop with us again. That was a rather cold, unsatisfying response.

Her voice is unmistakably unique. “I must confess,” the woman says before an audience of 400 ǡ Dz ϔ here … I won’t be singing.” She pauses and surveys the young, erudite crowd. “And there won’t be any hip shaking.” If this last revelation disappoints the largely-British audience, they politely withhold their dissatisfaction. She continues: “So how do I, a girl from Barranquilla, Columbia, come to occupy the same stage as Newton and Churchill?” She clearly knows the size of the footsteps she’s walking in. “Lord knows I’m no Mother Teresa, but here I am nonetheless.” 88

The date is December 7th, 2009, and that “girl from Barranquilla” is none other than single-named international music superstar and UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, Shakira. And just as so many historical icons have done before her, she is delivering a speech to the Oxford Union — a hallowed society within one of the world’s most prestigious universities. Shakira is acutely self-aware, and fullycognizant that to many, her presence behind the Oxford lectern might seem a bit odd. But if she’s the least bit nervous she doesn’t show it. Because while Shakira knows that it’s her hips (or the hypnotic way in which she moves them) that she is most famous for, it is education Ȅ ϐ ǡ to receive one — that she intends to be her lasting legacy. ϐ years ago, Shakira has spent nearly as much time focusing on education as she has shaking her hips. That day at Oxford, you could hear the passion stirring in her voice as she broached the subject: Dz ϐ ǡ inequality . . . growing up in the developing world, where education is perceived as a luxury, and not as a right, where children beg for an education and parents are desperate to provide it, where if one is born poor, one is destined to be poor …” As she continues, the crowd is just as engrossed as they are at her concerts; she is not shaking her hips, but nevertheless she has their full attention. Back when she was “growing up in the developing world,” Shakira’s father would often take her to the park so she could witness how the local orphan children lived. Even at a young age, this had a profound impact on her, and she vowed to one day become a successful enough artist to help those forgotten children. You see, Shakira was not your average kid; she was exceptionally gifted and Ǥ ϐ ǡ ϐ song — a ballad about her father’s grief over the tragic death of 90

her brother — at age eight. She was always taking everything in, absorbing everything she saw. And those sights helped shape her worldview and mold her into the woman she is today. If you’ve ever seen Shakira perform, then you know that she is in an elite class of entertainers. She can command the world’s largest stages with absolute control, and she nurtures a strong bond with her audience while performing. This innate gift was evident from the very start, and between the ages of 10 and 13, Shakira would mesmerize crowds at various small events throughout Barranquilla.

“I WAS BORN IN A COUNTRY MARKED BY CIVIL CONFLICT, SOCIAL STRIFE AND INEQUALITY... GROWING UP IN THE DEVELOPING WORLD, WHERE EDUCATION IS PERCEIVED AS A LUXURY, AND NOT AS A RIGHT, WHERE CHILDREN BEG FOR AN EDUCATION AND PARENTS ARE DESPERATE TO PROVIDE IT.” - SHAKIRA

“WE ARE EAGER FOR A FUTURE WITHOUT SO MUCH POVERTY AND INEQUALITY, AND WE ARE FIGHTING VERY HARD TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.” Eventually, this caught the attention of a local theater producer who convinced an executive from Sony to audition the young artist. She performed three songs and blew the Sony execs away. They signed ǡ Ǥ ϐ album at the age of 14. The girl who was once told she had no place on the school choir because she “sounded like a goat,” would go on to sell over 125 million records and become the most successful artist ever to emerge from her native Columbia. But she never forgot the promise she made to help those children. ϐ ǡ ȋDz dzȌǡ 18, and has never wavered in her commitment to build schools and provide every child with the tools to receive an education. “We have to keep working to build more centers, to train more teachers, and to involve more parents in their children’s education,” she pleads. “But we not only need more programs, we need better ones. We have to provide higher quality and innovative early childhood development programs all throughout Latin America.” Shakira has applied that same level of focused devotion to nearly every project she has been involved with throughout her illustrious career. Those whom she’s collaborated with affectionately describe her as an ardent perfectionist — one who writes, produces and oversees nearly every element of a song’s creation. In 2008, she signed a $300 million contract with Live Nation, and the new mother took a hiatus from coaching The Voice last year — not only to spend time with 92

ǡ ǡ but to focus on her next album. “I’ve begun to explore in the studio whenever I have time in Barcelona and here in Miami,” she says. “I’m working with different producers and DJs, and I try to feed off of that ϐ Ǥdz Shakira’s music has always incorporated myriad genres and cultural styles (folk, electronic, Middle Eastern, Latin), and has a universal accessibility that has been an integral component of her success. It is also likely that her global magnanimity — as well as the international appeal of a song like “Hips Don’t Lie” (the bestselling single of the last decade), or the 2010 FIFA World Cup anthem “Waka Waka” (which has been viewed over a half-billion times on YouTube), can be attributed to her own worldliness and diverse heritage. A self-described “mutt” with Lebanese, Spanish, and Italian ancestry, Shakira has traversed the world several times over and Ǥ ϐ ȋ ǡ ǡ Ȍǡ the rapid globalization of the 21st century. Shakira knows how some people feel about celebrities who vainly champion charitable causes. “I think that the most important thing I’ve learned is that people don’t just believe in causes because someone tells them to, but because the motivation and passion needs to reach them in order for them to react,” she says. “We are eager for a future without so much poverty and inequality, and we ϐ Ǥ and passion is what moves the needle on important social issues, whether it comes from a celebrity or not.” So she will continue with ǡ ϐ ǡ voice — perhaps the most distinctive voice in all of popular music — be heard loud and clearly. She may not be Mother Teresa, but in today’s world, Shakira might just be the next best thing.

THE BLAME GAME

IT’S PLAYED BY LOSERS, NOT LEADERS PART ONE OF A TWO-PART SERIES BY ROBERT KIYOSAKI WITH RICH DAD ADVISOR BLAIR SINGER

D

uring the U.S. government shutdown, every time I saw President Obama, Senate Leader Harry Reid or Speaker of the House John Boehner on television, I turned it off. All they were doing, day after day, was blaming the other guy for their inability to lead. When I think about the word blame . . . I see it as the shortened form of two words: be lame. In my opinion, we have some pretty lame leaders. Those of you fortunate enough to be flying on private jets know that being lame did not get you into that world. If someone has set their sights on being a strong leader who can start or grow a company or affect global change, there isn’t much room for blame or being lame. Playing the blame game is for losers. One advantage I have in business is that I had four years of military school and six years as a Marine officer and pilot with a year’s tour in Vietnam. Our job as Marine Corps Officers was to lead our men into some of the most hostile environments in the world — and do our best to bring them home alive. Although I went down three times while in Vietnam, losing three aircraft, I am proud to say that I went over there with 16 men and all 16 came home alive and whole.

ust as within individuals, so, too, within personal or professional partnerships, equanimity (or its corollary equity) has been extolled for its power in creating sustainable relationships. Many theories of equity have emerged over the decades, but most have attempted to explain relational ǡ ϐ Ȁ distributions of resources within inter-personal or inter-professional relationships. Relationship partners seek to maintain equanimity within themselves and equity between them and their partners or at least between the inputs that they bring to their relationship and the outcomes that they receive from it. They value fair exchange and they are driven consciously or unconsciously to keep this fairness maintained within their relationship. The structure of such equity is based on the ratio of inputs to outcomes, or cost and services to rewards. If either perceives themselves to be either under-rewarded or over-rewarded they will experience distress, and this distress will drive them to make efforts to restore equity within their relationship. Equity is measured by comparing the ratios of contributions ϐ Ǥ ϐ ǡ ϐ contributions is perceived to be the same. There are subtle and variable individual factors affecting each partner’s perception and assessment of their relationship with their partner. Anger is induced by under-reward inequity and guilt is induced with over-reward inequity.

“IN ANY PERSONAL OR PROFESSIONAL RELATIONSHIP, A PARTNER WANTS TO FEEL THAT THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS ARE BEING COMPENSATED WITH EQUAL REWARDS.” In any personal or professional relationship, a partner wants to feel that their contributions are being compensated with equal rewards. If a partner feels under-rewarded, then it will result in the partner feeling hostile towards the other partner, which may result in the partner not functioning well in the relationship. There are subtle variables that also play an important role in the feeling of equity. Just the idea of recognition and the mere act of thanking the partner will at times cause a feeling of satisfaction and therefore help the partner feel more worthwhile. This can result in a more equitable and sustainable outcome. A partner will consider that he or she is treated fairly if they perceive the ratio of their inputs to their outcomes to be equivalent to those around them. Thus, all else being equal, it would be acceptable for a more intimate or meaningful relationship to receive a higher compensation, since the value of his or her relationship is higher. The way partners base their experience with satisfaction for their relationship is to make comparisons with themselves and others they see their partner interacts with. If a partner notices that another individual is getting more recognition and rewards for their contribution, even when both have done the same amount and quality of interactions, it would persuade the partner to be ϐ Ǥ underappreciated. The idea is to have the rewards (outcomes) be directly related to the quality and quantity of the partner’s contributions (inputs or services). If both partners are perhaps rewarded the same, it would help the relationship to realize that the relationship is fair, sustainable and appreciative.

Outputs can be both tangible and intangible. As in marriage and other contractual dyadic relationships, equity assumes that partners seek to maintain an equitable ratio between the inputs they bring to the relationship and the outcomes they receive from it. Partners in relationships have different preferences for equity and thus react differently to perceived equity and inequity. Preferences can be expressed on a continuum from preferences Ǧ ϐ Ǧ ϐ Ǥ Three basic forms emerge:

Benevolents: Ȁ to be less than those of their relational partner. The benevolent Ǧ ϐ ϐ as a self-minimizing altruist. These partners feel they have been previously supported by an unfair exchange or some form of over ϐ Ǥ

Equity Sensitives: Ȁ ratios to be equal to those of their relational partner, sometimes ϐ Ǥ

Ȁ when a partner judges the overall fairness of their relationship by comparing their inputs and outcomes with an externally-derived standard (injected social ideal). This allows for the perceived Ȁ partner’s evaluations of their relationship. Just as equanimity is one of the great keys to leadership and self-mastery, so, too, is equity one of the great keys to partnership and relationship mastery. So whether you are poised from within or poised from without, equanimity and equity are virtuous and wise to maintain within you and the relationships around you.

ENJOYING THE GOOD LIFE AT COSTA RICA’S FOUR SEASONS AT PENINSULA PAPAGAYO BY DOUG SINGER

he pampering began right at the airport in Liberia, the capital of Guanacaste province, where our driver from the Four Seasons at Peninsula Papagayo offered us cold towels and even colder water — a welcome and refreshing start for entry into a hot climate, and one that would set the expectations for what was to come. As we were driving through the Costa Rican landscape heading toward the property (an approximate 30 minute trip from the airport), we were surprised when a video screen lit up and we were greeted for check-in via Skype. This was just one in a

long line of innovative luxuries and one that made it possible to head directly to our room upon arrival. The rolling grounds of Four Seasons at Peninsula Papagayo embrace you from the moment you arrive. The setting is clearly designed to be a true haven — an unparalleled place to unwind, be pampered and forget about everyday life. The peninsula covers 2,300 acres and has 15 miles of coastline with some of the country’s most beautiful golden sand beaches, two of which frame the resort. Issue 1 . 2014

“I HOPE MY WORK SETS A STAGE WHERE THE VIEWER FEELS INCLINED TO ENGAGE THEIR OWN EXPERIENCES AND IDEAS FROM LOOKING AT MY PIECES.� - LINCOLN STONE

Painting on the left: Mystic Girl, 48 x 36 inches, Oil

rom time to time, there appears an artist whose work is in the avant garde. The art world is fortunate to be able to acknowledge a sculptor in Lincoln Stone, whose multifarious skills and ability to work with a range of materials are effortlessly translated into objects of the moment. Born in the small town RI 0RQWURVH 3HQQV\OYDQLD /LQFROQ 6WRQH ZDV ÂżUVW LQWURGXFHG WR DUW at the age of 23. A chance meeting with a great painter while serving military duty in Germany changed his life forever. The revelation that Stone, as an adult, could learn to draw meant that his personal dreams of being an artist could be realized. After completion of his military service, he studied art on the GI bill and was awarded a graduate degree in sculpture and painting from Florida State University. This academic foundation, along with several sculptural apprenticeships, honed the multimedia skills that have enabled him to create the highest level of art. While most artists spend a lifetime perfecting their skill in one particular genre, Stone’s steadfast determination has led him to master a number of mediums. Equally adept at working in bronze, stone, glass, wood and metal, Lincoln Stone revels in painstakingly fashioning each material to produce both two- and three-dimensional UHSUHVHQWDWLRQV RI KLVWRULF DQG FXOWXUDO VXEMHFW PDWWHU UHĂ€HFWLQJ contemporary ideas, events and attitudes. It is this period of the “here and nowâ€? and being “of the momentâ€? where Stone insists the work he creates be vested. Stone is keen that viewers of his work are not blinkered by the artist’s concept, nostalgia or patriotism for a particular subject matter. He says, “I hope my work sets a stage where the viewer feels inclined to engage their own experiences and ideas from looking at my pieces.â€? $QG ZKDW D VWDJH LW LV HDFK SLHFH EHDXWLIXOO\ FDSWXUHG DQG ÂżQLVKHG with precision and accuracy. Exquisite patinas are his hallmark, as he insists each piece command a life of its own, speaking for itself and not of the artist. “Time and excellence,â€? Stone’s own watchwords for artistic motivation, combine to offer a visual, yet tactile masterpiece, which although being of the moment, will stand the test of time. Stone’s modern statues pay homage to the realism embodied by the works of Duane Hanson, for whom Lincoln worked as an assistant. His stonework and carvings draw inspiration from the great masters such as Michelangelo, Raphael, Degas and Rosenquist, with links Issue 1 . 2014

Lincoln’s approach to art leaves him with an ongoing struggle to create a work that is a caliber above even his own expectations. It is testament to his dedication and steadfast approach towards excellence that Stone is able to create a working environment where he can foster his highest level of ability.
