The individual, man as a man, man as a brain, if you like, interests me more than what he makes, because I've noticed that most artists only repeat themselves.

Since a three-dimensional object casts a two-dimensional shadow, we should be able to imagine the unknown four-dimensional object whose shadow we are. I for my part am fascinated by the search for a one-dimensional object that casts no shadow at all.

In my day artists wanted to be outcasts, pariahs. Now they are all integrated into society

I believe that the artist doesn't know what he does. I attach even more importance to the spectator than to the artist.

Art is not about itself but the attention we bring to it.

The creative act is not performed by the artist alone; the spectator brings the work in contact with the external world by deciphering and interpreting its inner qualifications and thus adds his contribution to the creative act.

No, the thing to do is try to make a painting that will be alive in your own lifetime.
