Frankly, these days, without a theory to go with it, I can't see a painting.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Painting is an illusion, a piece of magic, so what you see is not what you see.
Painting is not for me either decorative amusement, or the plastic invention of felt reality; it must be every time: invention, discovery, revelation.
My paintings are not about what is seen. They are about what is known forever in the mind.
I slowly dismantled the act of painting, to consider the possibility that no-thing ever really transcends its immediate environment.
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.
A painting is like a man. If you can live without it, then there isn't much point in having it.
Painting, for me, is a dynamic balance and wholeness of life; it is mysterious and transcending, yet solid and real.
The painting is not on a surface, but on a plane which is imagined. It moves in a mind. It is not there physically at all. It is an illusion, a piece of magic, so that what you see is not what you see.
Painting will have to deal more fully and less obliquely with life and nature's phenomena before it can again become great.
Well, I have a very simple method of painting.
