“Over the past two or three years, I’ve felt a renewed fascination for the pictorial language of classical painting. In my search for answers to certain questions, I’ve had the growing suspicion that the language of contemporary painting, which has been stripped of so much of what mattered to classical painting, is simply not up to the job of conveying the complexity of modern issues and the multifarious nature of ‘truth’ today.”
