answering define defying describing equally experience inept paint paintings satisfying themselves
I paint paintings because I can't get the experience in any other way but there are many more experiences that are equally satisfying to me and equally inept at answering all my questions, but hover in exactitude in describing themselves and defying me to define their logic.

I wanted to show painting paintings first, then the plate paintings; now I can show that I've sort of freed myself from stylistic inhibitions.

My early paintings weren't that good - I was very influenced by Francis Bacon. But there was a kind of intensity there. And however influenced they may have been by other people, even my earliest paintings were recognisably my own.

I don't think the meaning in my paintings comes from just using broken dishes.

If I hung one of my paintings next to someone else's, I knew mine would kind of pop off the wall.
