Catalogue Note
"Ideas do not come; they are hidden beneath a veil and are part of the spoils. Intuition is the only rare and remote moment. [...] Finished works are the banners of war, but they are also stockades that end up besieging the artist who has erected them." (the artist cited in: in Eduardo Cicelyn, "The Black Light of the Sign", in Paladino, Milano 1995, p. 112)
