Lot Essay

The Words are not in their proper Place

There will always be an end to the
Transparency of the paint, of
the paper. Always to see a painting. Ah,
Had it just remained a drawing. Scheme.
In search of the perfect balance
Between play and work.
An exhibition is also always part
of a greater whole. Now that I've ended up here,
the shutters close of the space very well.
What can be won from this game.
What I have to say can be done in a few
lines. I always find fruitful ideas
more interesting than the complete development
of those ideas.
And on a different level it is,
In fact, a mixture of those images
And the words that describe those
Images. The words are not
In there proper place.
Book Exhibition.
