Provenance:

Private Collection, France
Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac, Paris


"I often think of my paintings as a form of image kit or perhaps as jigsaw puzzles, which offer components of paintings as clues pointing the viewer, not to a finished narrative (as when the last piece of a jigsaw puzzle completes the picture of Notre Dame), but rather to a selfawareness of how one construes a painting.
Throughout, I try to put things in non-normal relationships with one another. Why is a biomorphic form sitting on a flat patterned ground? Why does that neutral pattern suggest deep space?
Does a certain pattern provide an interior or a landscape for a form to inhabit?
I also seek to thwart the potential narrative by making the viewer aware of paint and its physical properties. Paint has a peculiar capacity to become a locus for an experience of the actual, the concrete, in opposition to the depicted, the imagined."
