The Things That I Have

But When I Worked On A Painting I Would Do It From A Drawing But I Would Put Certain Things I Was Fairly Sure I Wanted In The Painting, And Then Collage On The Painting With Printed Dots Or Painted Paper Or Something Before I Really Committed It.

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.

A Number Of Artists Have Done Things With Mickey Mouse - Including Claes Oldenburg And Andy Warhol. He's Such An American Symbol, And Such An Anti-art Symbol.

Use The Worst Colour You Can Find In Each Place - It Usually Is The Best.

Im Not Really Sure What Social Message My Art Carries, If Any. And I Dont Really Want It To Carry One. Im Not Interested In The Subject Matter To Try To Teach Society Anything, Or To Try To Better Our World In Any Way.
