As Soon As Something Becomes Art I

I Realised That You Couldn't Use The Tools Of Yesterday To Communicate Today's World. Basically, That Was The Big Light That Went On In My Head.

I Think I've Always Been Afraid Of Painting, Really. Right From The Beginning. All My Paintings Are About Painting Without A Painter. Like A Kind Of Mechanical Form Of Painting. Like Finding Some Imaginary Computer Painter, Or A Robot Who Paints.

The Idea Is More Important Than The Object.

For Me, Art Is Always A Kind Of Theater. When I Started The Spot Paintings I Made Them As An Endless Series. But I Was Never Serious About It Being An Endless Series. It Was Just An Implied Endless Series. The Theater Means You Just Have To Make It Look Good For That Moment In The Spotlight.

In Fact, The First Piece Of Art I Ever Sold, I Paid Someone Else To Make The Next One, So I Could Actually Keep Going Out Drinking.
