Painting And Drawing Has Been Here For

I've Always Been A Looker. Loads Of People Say, "i Never Saw That" - But That's What Artists Do.

I've Never Been Interested In, Much In The Politics Of The Art World, It Doesn't Interest Me.

And Then I Went Round The Corner And There's A Van Gogh Portrait, And You Just Think, Well, This Is Another Level. A Higher Level, Actually. I Love The Sargent, But It's Not The Level Of Van Gogh.

It Is Difficult To Say Why I Decided I Wanted To Be An Artist. Obviously, I Had Some Facility, More Than Other People, But Sometimes Facility Comes Because One Is More Interested In Looking At Things, Examining Them, More Interested In The Visual World Than Other People Are.

You Would Think Death Was An Optional Extra Nowadays. Nobody Wants To Tick That Box.
