My paintings are not about what is seen. They are about what is known forever in the mind.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
Painting, for me, is a dynamic balance and wholeness of life; it is mysterious and transcending, yet solid and real.
Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.
Painting is not for me either decorative amusement, or the plastic invention of felt reality; it must be every time: invention, discovery, revelation.
Painting picture by picture, I followed the impressions my eye took in at heightened moments. I painted only memories, adding nothing, no details that I did not see. Hence the simplicity of the paintings, their emptiness.
See, when I paint, it is an experience that, at its best, is transcending reality.
I don't very much enjoy looking at paintings in general. I know too much about them. I take them apart.
My paintings are rubbish.
I see things like they've never been seen before. Art is an accurate statement of the time in which it is made.
Painting is an illusion, a piece of magic, so what you see is not what you see.
