  • Stephen Cone Weeks, Canadian, was born in London in 1952. He grew up in Canada, the USA and Germany. His Grandfather was the American painter Marvin Cone (1891-1965).
    ​
    After studying drawing and stained glass in Germany from 1968-72, Stephen Cone weeks returned to Canada where he received his Bachelor of Fine Arts in drawing and printmaking from the University of Windsor in 1976 (Governor Generals Medal). A DAAD scholarship (German Academic Exchange Service) made it possible for him to study under Prof. Rolf Sackenheim at the Art Academy of Düsseldorf where he became a Meisterschüler in 1978. He began doing his glassdrawings
    in 1997. A kunst:raum sylt quelle Foundation grant in 2007 enabled his film project the curtain of can’t. Stephen Cone Weeks lives and works in Düsseldorf, Germany, and in Como, Italy, where he has a summer studio.
  • Glass has always fascinated me. When I was sixteen I worked in a studio for stained glass in Cologne. The glasmalermeister who taught me always claimed I was more interested in drawing than in stained glass and in some ways he was right. In fact, what interested me was the space behind the glass: the way the lead, the imperfections in the glass, and the schwarzlot lines and surfaces obstructed and obscured that space.

    At the art academy i worked with drawing and lithography; after graduating i focused entirely on drawing on paper until – wanting to return to my favoured medium – I found a way to draw on plaster on glass which led to my present multi-layered glass drawings.

    ​All my work – on paper, on glass, and more recently with film – is highly narrative. My task seems to be to tell a story of some kind; but it is a story I do not know. Telling it “in the dark”, unable to discern the deeper layers of significance of the abstractions and realities I create, is both a torment and a joy. I draw to make something visible which is inaccessible to me: the space behind the glass.
