A FEW NOTES
|   Curriculum Vitae   |   Information   |
I like the word 'Fugacity' - it does not imply recurrence. Eye & hand moving ahead of the rational faculties.

Drawing implicitly as a means of expressing what escapes me. De Koonings (in)famous 'SLIPPERY GLIMPSE'. The quality of the obsession always more important than presentable results.
Avoiding prefixed notions of what something should look like or resemble & applying one's metier to achieve that end.
Fugacity means fleeting. Living in the space of a door that opens & shuts, 'that mercurial existence in the sensitized space between antitheses'. In the act of drawing this space changes continuously & presumes no definite outcome at any point. This becomes that & that becomes this.

I look & draw with my eyes, not with my tongue.
The above attempts to describe in words what happens while drawing I find absurd.

There is no need for art to be democratic, social, socialist or popular. The idea of being known repels me. I value my obscurity, I have turned it into a trait. I possess only one quality; an ideal suspicion of the public.
