Forfeit

"I am using the formats of minimalism, but not following the goals. As a matter of fact, I always regarded the space in a painting as the soul of a painting. I'm working to find a space I can interact with on a day-to-day basis, something neutral and malleable: one of the goals of minimalism was to experience qualities of materials, forms, colors and remove psychological space. I have always tried to put myself in the best 'place' (be it living space or painting space) to think clearly - to make the next decision."
