Reality is not real, and weird art proves it. Of course life is bizarre, the more bizarre it gets, the more interesting life is.
Par nature, l’humain crée du sens.
Art issues stranger than fiction, as our own status as animals; with all of the mess going on the world it is good to see wholesome images.
Art does not present real objects, but rather lines and shadows that trick our brains into recognizing a subject.
I love making beautiful things for the sake of it, without attaching my identity to it, because bad paintings are clamoring for help. Artists are not weird, they are eccentric.
The brain turns doodling everytimes we are too bored, and this is why nobody is bored when making basiliks that are beautiful and interesting. Art breaks the rules, imagination has no laws. It's not bizarre, it's animistic thinking from the tension between chance and the purpose of art.
Seeing the real Santa Claus in flesh is one of those once-in-a-lifetime finds.
In art as in love, instinct is enough (Anatole France).
If you can move to your edges, and get closer to the truth, and the tangible symbol of them. The line between curiosity and the pursuit of science may be hard to draw.
If you make one weird painting. You have one weird painting. If you make 17 more, you have a portfolio.
Weird artists ship because only art may had save some artists from insanity. The problem is never how to get new thoughts into your mind, but how to get awkward ones out.
The evidence just melts away when you actually look at it closely.
Don't take paintings at face value, all manner of birds singing happily. The aim of art can only be to increase the sum of freedom and responsibility to be found in every man and in the world.
If you want someone to make a trade deal with you, you have to offer them something that they don’t already have .
Artists by nature are often solitary creatures. Doodling nurtures our need to get old thoughts out of our mind: be open to unsusal art forms, cute insects are friendly. Rational beings called humans are capable of irrational actions, the right shoe for the job. Depicting humanity as being just like the animals.
Pictures don't want to create good art but to be images of themselves, all for differing ends.
Leo Tolstoy, What Is Art? Facts are facts. You have to be there, folks.
Weird is too easy, too obvious, too thin. It's not great living in the internet.
Depicting humanity as being just like the animals. In the artists eyes, we take what we need if need be. This should be looked at as an opportunity.
The dark side of humor reminds us a little bit of ourselves, of our own human weaknesses and shortcomings.
Ephemerality takes its time for the sake of art, reminiscences make the best organic compost for emotions in art; it looks funny, but it looks funny on purpose. An attempt to achieve a kind of eerie in-between-ness.
Hegel said in the 1820s that art was a thing of the past.
When you paint a room, the volume of the room shrinks by a gallon or so.
Only enemies speak the truth. Friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty. Pictures that claim not being assertive in the gallery.
Painting can express emotions and thoughts, run like a common thread through the thematic focus of the work. You exist and you make art, and that’s what makes it good, or you are still fighting against their narrative of who you are. They are fueled primarily by spite. I think most people are not holding grudges like this.
