Catalogue Note
“I suppose it is presumptuous of me to think that my paintings do not immediately convey to the spectator their entire content. Nevertheless, I hope they don’t – not only that, but I hope that the significance of the paintings will be variable to the viewer so long as he cares to look at them. By this I mean that the guts of these paintings, as I intend them to be, are nothing more or less than the approach to the understanding of man’s relationship to nature.” JOHN MCLAUGHLIN
