When I was younger I was very opinionated about art.

Like there’s art that I think is pretty silly, but it doesn’t get under my skin like it used to Picture Quote #1

When there’s a painting in the room, my eye goes right to it. It’s like if you go into a bar and there’s a television on, you can’t take your eyes off the television. Paintings have that effect on me. It’s where my eye settles Picture Quote #1

I’m also interested in something that can happen later in life. In midstream, you can suddenly take what looks like a detour; I’m sure I’ve taken many detours Picture Quote #1

The thing is that the money issue looms so large in art now. And it has absolutely nothing to do with art. If you’re painting goes for ten grand or a hundred grand, it doesn’t make painting any easier. And it doesn’t make the painting any better if it goes for a hundred grand Picture Quote #1

The era of television in which I grew up was much simpler than now. Its conventions were quite transparent and fun to think about. Who could ever remember the plot of those shows? Picture Quote #1

Technology’s always changing. There was a time where oil painting was a new technology. That changed painting Picture Quote #1

There’s something retro about the pop culture references in the paintings, so I’d imagine it’s not as much a pop culture reference as a pop art reference Picture Quote #1

Paintings exist in the present tense, yet somehow, because of how it’s structured, it can move backwards through time as well Picture Quote #1
