I Use The Gallery As

I Am Only Interested In Painting The Actual Person, In Doing A Painting Of Them, Not In Using Them To Some Ulterior End Of Art. For Me, To Use Someone Doing Something Not Native To Them Would Be Wrong.

A Moment Of Complete Happiness Never Occurs In The Creation Of A Work Of Art. The Promise Of It Is Felt In The Act Of Creation But Disappears Towards The Completion Of The Work. For It Is Then The Painter Realises That It Is Only A Picture He Is Painting. Until Then He Had Almost Dared To Hope The Picture Might Spring To Life.

I Paint People, Not Because Of What They Are Like, Not Exactly In Spite Of What They Are Like, But How They Happen To Be.

The Paintings That Really Excite Me Have An Erotic Element Or Side To Them Irrespective Of Subject Matter

The Task Of The Artist Is To Make The Human Being Uncomfortable.
