Quote

I choose color on the spur of the moment. People ask me why I paint in red. I do not have the slightest idea. I was painting in blue, then I had a need to paint in red. To be able to interact with the medium, this is the key. There are no sure ways to do art.

The question of painting is bound up with epistemology, with the engagement of the viewer, with what the viewer may learn.
