Stoll is known for his fragile, meticulous re-creations of some of the most taken-for-granted yet essential supplies of everyday life, reverent "portraits" of disposable household objects. In the past he has replicated rolls of floral printed toilet paper in hand-painted silk, recast Tupperware cups in beeswax and created sponges of balsa wood. For the past ten years his focus has been on reinterpreting the ephemera of the holidays including the making of strands of pearls with plaster and nail polish for Mother's day and painting plaster eggs in Easter colors and hiding them in Galleries. Participating in creating the trappings of a wedding ceremony is a natural extension of his work.
George Stoll is an artist living and working in Los Angeles. He is represented in Los Angeles by Kim Light Gallery.
