More quotes by John Paul Caponigro
Surfaces simultaneously reveal and conceal.
John Paul Caponigro
The primary mode of experiencing images is non-verbal... but once it's brought out into the light of the day, what's understood by the subconscious intuitive mind can be better grasped by the conscious rational mind. Aligning the two produces powerful results.
John Paul Caponigro
Seeing creates growth.
John Paul Caponigro
We talk about the vulnerability involved in sharing our work publicly. I don't think we talk enough about the real vulnerability involved in making art if we truly engage the process we are changed by it.
John Paul Caponigro
Don't ask 'Should I ...?'. Instead, 'Ask what happens if I ...?'
John Paul Caponigro
Looking and seeing are two different things.
John Paul Caponigro
Surfaces reveal so much. The marks painters make reveal so much about their work and themselves their sense of proportion, line, and rhythm is more telling than their signature. Looking at the surfaces of nature may offer equivalent revelations. What do these shapes and patterns reveal about the world and their creator? Surfaces hide so much.
John Paul Caponigro
Photography extends our perception allowing us to see and experience more - second hand.
John Paul Caponigro
Above all, remember that the computer simply isn't as intelligent as you are.
John Paul Caponigro
It's one thing to make a beautiful thing it's another thing to make a living thing.
John Paul Caponigro
Visual artists choreograph dances for the eyes, guiding visual journeys in specific ways. But when presented with little or nothing, the journeys of the eyes become erratic and finally still their restless searching. The eye and mind and heart grow quiet, come to rest, and begin to understand their own functioning more deeply.
John Paul Caponigro
Different people can photograph the same things with the same tools and create such different images.
John Paul Caponigro
To be sure, not all moments are equally fleeting. Some moments last longer than others. And certain events do reoccur more than once and even recur repeatedly. Sometimes you do get more than one chance. Sometimes you don't. It helps to know how long a window of opportunity you have and if you'll get another chance.
John Paul Caponigro
Images are altered in many ways, to many degrees, and for many reasons, so it's important for viewers to be informed of both.
John Paul Caponigro
Education, or enrichment, is a dynamic, evolving, lifelong process. Every time you look, sensitively with awareness, your vision grows.
John Paul Caponigro
A good question has many answers.
John Paul Caponigro
Listen carefully. The way(s) we speak about things is revealing.
John Paul Caponigro
How do we know what we know? Is seeing believing? Is believing seeing?
John Paul Caponigro
Through the experience of art, the powers of perception and transformation can be awakened, in both those who create it and those who re-perceive it.
John Paul Caponigro
We see the world through our experience.
