What Appeals
to Painters
There is something in the visible which reveals why it exists and how it moves, how it lives and the manner in which it evolves; this, in my view, is what appeals to painters: that there is a 'something' which makes lines, colours and forms hold together, whose mechanism is accessible to the viewer.Subsequently, or rather simultaneously (since my presence changes the reality itself), I, as a painter, ask the question, 'What do I need to know or consider in order to be able to transfer this mechanism to the painting or the drawing?'
