Most artists like to think of themselves as rugged individualists, as independent characters.
The satirical direction I have chosen is an indication of my disappointment in man, which is the opposite way of saying that I have high expectations for the human race.
Ah, but it's nice to be in the opposition, nice to be a bone in somebody's throat.
I'm the little dog who goes the wrong way - under the hoop.
Now painting is different. It's something recollected in tranquility.
