Artist Statement:
These are
paintings-of-paintings, and in
this sense, copies,
reproductions from a personal
invisible gallery.
I re-member my own paintings.
They'll always be copies,
sometimes copies of copies. I
cover only as much as I can
complete in one go, therefore
the canvas is divided into
more or less equal "slices".
Naturally, there are
differences between these
different parts, as each day
is different.
I do not see a real difference
between writing and painting,
as both gesture and intent.
Just using different
ideograms, that's all. My
paintings are "written" with
paint, an accumulations of
signs, marks and "letters"
correcting and partially
obliterating each other,
creating re-presentations
sparked mostly by words and
word-associations.I use words
like one can use nature as
reference...and this is where
the power of image seems to
stem from: this conceptual /
perceptual balance...
...the imagery I use has to do
with: the equation nature /
man-made nature, the
confusions and
misunderstandings of human
intercourse, the irrelevance
of emotion, the notion of
guidance, of consuming art and
consuming anything else,
but especially with the
paradox of failure, the
luminous, celebratory sense of
failure which contains its own
latent success...
