You can see in my paintings, I've taken away the context, I've taken away the shadows, I've taken away expression, I've taken away the personal, and yet so much remains!

If things are too similar, the dialogue is not very interesting. If you put in contrast, big and small, abstract and representational, you set up the possibility of a discourse.

My idea for every exhibition is we should be able to see every individual work without being distracted by the others, and it doesn't matter if it's quite crowded.

The viewer brings all additional information to the image.

Art is more to do with observation than invention.

I am personally happy for artists to make as much money as they can while they can to carry them through the times when they can't.

When I look at the objects that I draw, it seems to me so obvious about the contemporary world - these are our world.
