+ I
was probably born with the ability to draw, but
that does not make you an artist.
+ People say I use my billboard technique to make
art. Baloney! I used my art technique to paint billboards.
+ It's all autobiographical, everything is, all
of it.
+ If you are close to it, a big painting is just
a feeling around you, that's all.
+ Whenever I got a new studio I made the largest
possible painting, and since the ceiling was low,
the painting became horizontal. As I changed studios
and got larger spaces, I made bigger paintings.
+ It all has meaning to me. As I explain my paintings,
I hope that they get away from me, that the idea
takes off and has a life of its own.
+ I tell young people that the greatest paintings
in museums are made with minerals mixed in oil schmeared
on cloth with the hair from the back of a pig's
ear. It's that simple.
+ Have you ever watched anyone die? They are struggling
for life and then they are dead and something seems
to have left the room.. an electrical spark, a soul,
I don't know what it is, but there is a cadaver
left, and the spark is gone. That's very, very peculiar
I think.
