Catalogue Note
“I pay much attention to the effects of movement. For subjects like birds and humans, some people like to paint static individuals, whereas I observe the mentality and physical form in movement. I can see that four-legged animals move differently. There’s movement in the front and in the back. Both must work in tandem.”
