I love the idea of bringing my work to the general public, not just people who go to gallery openings.

Art is inspiring. Walking into a gallery, or when the lights go up on a stage; that thrill of getting something that has nothing to do with acquisition.

I think artists are really the root of a tree. They can search for truth or reality in their own way, and the gallery can support them - the outside part of the tree, where it is more about reaching the outside world, connecting with the outside world. That is the role of the gallery, no? Why does the artist have to do that?

Galleries, and they're all the same, and rightly so, they sell work.

To create a work of art is to create the world.

I love to be in front of big galleries.

For me, the gallery legitimates the art production and helps build collections. I don't think an artist should do everything by himself forever. I did it for years and then slowly built my circle of trust.

There is more to representing art than selling art. The life of the gallery is dependent on the renewal and refreshment of its artists and dealers. When that stops happening, it's the end.

A work of art when placed in a gallery loses its charge, and becomes a portable object or surface disengaged from the outside world.

There's an audience for all kinds of great art.
