A work of art when placed in a gallery loses its charge, and becomes a portable object or surface disengaged from the outside world.
As humans we look at things and think about what we've looked at. We treasure it in a kind of private art gallery.
The nice thing about the gallery shows is that without having to pay any money you can just go and see it.
I love to be in front of big galleries
History is a gallery of pictures in which there are few originals and many copies.
You never see what you want to see, forever playing to the gallery.
Culture, like the kingdom of heaven, lies within us, and not in foreign galleries and books.
As far as my opinion on galleries, I think they are a great thing. I see them as another outlet. I'm sure by now you've figured out that I do my work for everybody to see. That's the whole point.
Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.
When I showed ‘Black and the Red III’ in Malmö, Sweden, it was a continuum - a band - all around the galleryseeing this huge space in the gallery in Malmö, I just took a deep breath and I put the paper around in a single band.

I literally took the rhythm and the images from ‘Black and the Red III’ and continued that on the wall.
I wanted to be a star, not a gallery mascot.
