I think a painting should include more experience than simply intended statement.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Painting is a coalescing of experience.
The truth is that painting is all about scale; you use scale to create experience. A lot of artists have lost that ability. They don't even know that's something they should be doing.
I think most paintings are a record of the decisions that the artist made. I just perhaps make them a little clearer than some people have.
See, when I paint, it is an experience that, at its best, is transcending reality.
No one can be a painter unless he cares for painting above all else.
I like the idea that paintings are not representations of an artist's psyche. Making the paintings is what gives the artist her psyche in the first place.
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.
I believe the reason I love painting so much is that it forces one to be objective.
One must act in painting as in life, directly.
Our experience of any painting is always the latest line in a long conversation we've been having with painting. There's no way of looking at art as though you hadn't seen art before.
