Painting is the aesthetic side of the object but it has never been original, has never been its own goal.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
No painting is ever not an infinitely reproducible image any more.
For every artist, experience is never complete until it has been reproduced in creative work.
Originality depends only on the character of the drawing and the vision peculiar to each artist.
I have never been much of a painter.
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.
Painting is an essentially concrete art and can only consist of the representation of real and existing things.
Painting, for me, is a dynamic balance and wholeness of life; it is mysterious and transcending, yet solid and real.
Painting is seen as picture making, the making of an art object, something that can stand on its own.
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.
I believe the reason I love painting so much is that it forces one to be objective.
