What Interests Me Is To Paint The Kind Of Antisensitivity That Impregnates Modern Civilization. I Think Art Since Cezanne Has Become Extremely Romantic And Unrealistic, Feeding On Art. It Is Utopian. It Has Less And Less To Do With The World. It Looks Inward - Neo-zen And All That. Pop Art Looks Out Into The World. It Doesn't Look Like A Painting Of Something, It Looks Like The Thing Itself.

Civilization

Usually I Begin Things Through A Drawing, So A Lot Of Things Are Worked Out In The Drawing. But Even Then, I Still Allow For And Want To Make Changes. I Kind Of Do The Drawing With The Painting In Mind, But It's Very Hard To Guess At A Size Or A Color And The Colors Around It And What It Will Really Look Like. It's Only A Guess At The Beginning, And Then I Try To Refine It.
