Painting is an essentially concrete art and can only consist of the representation of real and existing things.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Painting is the representation of visible forms. The essence of realism is its negation of the ideal.
Painting, for me, is a dynamic balance and wholeness of life; it is mysterious and transcending, yet solid and real.
I think a painting is more like the real world if it's made out the real world.
Painting is seen as picture making, the making of an art object, something that can stand on its own.
I'm still very sure that painting is one of the most basic human capacities, like dancing and singing, that make sense, that stay with us, as something human.
No painting is ever not an infinitely reproducible image any more.
Painting is a lie. It's the most magic of all media, the most transcendent. It makes space where there is no space.
Painting (like poetry) chooses from universals what is most apposite. It brings together, in a single imaginary being, circumstances and characteristics which occur in nature in many different persons.
Painting is a coalescing of experience.
Painting is an illusion, a piece of magic, so what you see is not what you see.
