Painting stems from a sense of organisation, the sensed positions of contrasts. Not that it is about this.

Use the worst colour you can find in each place - it usually is the best.

Pop Art is industrial painting. I think the meaning of my work is that it is industrial, it's what all the world will soon become. Europe will be the same way, soon, it won't be American; it will be universal.

Color is crucial in painting, but it is very hard to talk about.

Outside is the world; it's there. Pop Art looks out into the world.

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.

I take a cliche and try to organize its forms to make it monumental. The difference is often not great, but it is crucial.
