Artist’s Statement

 

I love talking about art. I love jargon, references, challenging viewpoints and deciphering meaning in other artist’s compositions. But artists shouldn’t talk about or attempt to explain their own work because, to paraphrase Francis Bacon, explanation doesn’t deepen the mystery.

Everything to know about my paintings is either there on the canvas, or it isn’t. Spelling it out will not make it better, just like a joke isn’t funny if you have to explain it.

I try and make good art. Hopefully it’s there on the canvas.
