Everybody knows that abstract art can be art, and most people know that they may not like it, even if they understand there's another purpose to it..
Painting stems from a sense of organisation, the sensed positions of contrasts. Not that it is about this..
My direction is very anti-contemplative. If you thought I was for commercial products, you'd think there was no irony. The irony isn't meant to be an….
