I Have No Fear Of

I Do Not Paint Nature. I Am Nature.

I Don't Work From Drawings And Colour Sketches Into A Final Painting. Painting, I Think, Today - The More Immediate, The More Direct - The Greater The Possibilities Of Making A Direct - Of Making A Statement.

Modern Art To Me Is Nothing More Than The Expression Of Contemporary Aims Of The Age We’re Living In. All Cultures Have Had Means And Techniques Of Expressing Their Immediate Aims – The Chinese, The Renaissance, All Cultures. The Thing That Interests Me Is That Today Painters Do Not Have To Go To A Subject Matter Outside Of Themselves. Most Modern Painters Work From A Different Source, They Work From Within.

I Continue To Get Further Away From The Usual Painter's Tools Such As Easel, Palette, Brushes, Etc.

It Is Only When I Lose Contact With The Painting That The Result Is A Mess. Otherwise There Is Pure Harmony, An Easy Give And Take, And The Painting Comes Out Well.
