That freedom that Picasso afforded himself, to be an artist in a huge number of ways, seems to be a huge psychological liberation.

Red is a colour I've felt very strongly about. Maybe red is a very Indian colour, maybe it's one of those things that I grew up with and recognise at some other level.

It's the role of the artist to pursue content

My first show sold within the first 3 minutes, and I came back to the studio and spent the next two and a half years making almost nothing

We live in a fractured world. I've always seen it as my role as an artist to attempt to make wholeness.

One does afford oneself the luxury to come into the studio and all day, every day, spend one's life making aesthetic propositions. What an immense luxury

There's something imminent in the work, but the circle is only completed by the viewer.
