Painters are bound to be involved in painting.It follows then that after a certain number of years spent following studio life, this painter realizes that the old and the new in painting have always been only one thing.This being the case, being anti-traditional turns out to be just as corny as being traditional. What remains is that other thing that is not there, that thing which painters love and love searching for.
In this search, history becomes a matter of eclectic affinities ,and everything becomes simultaneous in the present moment. It is as if space might replace time, and one can become properly lost. Lost in space. Profound memories of works of art blend with personal affective memories, with now my work, as with my whole life. |
