- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
People constantly describe me as a formalist or even a minimalist, but I'm not really bothered with the rules of painting or the history of painting. My approach is that everything is mine. I take what I can use from wherever, and then I forget where I've taken it from. But there is no point me making anything that looks like anyone else's.
- Being
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My desire to be an artist really came out of being broke and unemployed and incapable of holding a job down. That's what it was driven by for sure.
- Day
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm probably creative for half an hour a day. The rest of the time, I'm just doing what's necessary to make that creativity visible.
- I Can

- Nov 07, 2020
I don't make political work. I don't make work that criticises the state. I make as human work as I can.
- Moment
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't vote. I voted Labour once, in that moment of euphoria. I know that if people only made a voice for change, then change will happen, but I'm not that person. I'm painting pictures.
- Disenfranchised

The disenfranchised should be going to art school - not the franchised.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The surface is all you get of me.
- Job
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I lived on nothing for years - squatted where I lived and where I worked, stole electricity, made things from stuff I found in skips, used paper that had been discarded - you do everything you can do to keep going and not have to get a job.
- Ambition
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's not part of my ambition to become fabulously rich. My plan was always to make my pictures, and hopefully people would buy them, and then I'd buy a studio, buy a house, help friends out, do bits and bobs - but I've no idea after that.
- Nov 07, 2020
I want to paint something that's gorgeous, something that's perfect. So that it's full of sadness.
- Growing Up
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I love to see a wood full of bluebells. Growing up in the Kent countryside, I have special memories of this brief annual spectacle.
- Look
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'd like to give people leaden boots in galleries, so they'd be a bit slower in front of my paintings. And that's because I spend so much time looking at them. I can look at them a long, long time without getting bored. I disappear.
- Pictures
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My mum always liked poetry, and she had pictures on the wall, so there was this visual stuff around.
- Light
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Now, I love painting. I love looking. I love the fact that they don't move. They constantly change with the light. They are sort of patient.
- History
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
All art becomes history as soon as it is made, so it is inevitably part of a tradition. It doesn't matter a toss if it is in paint or in film; it is all art.
