So much of every art is an expression of the subconscious that it seems to me most of all the important qualities are put there unconsciously, and little of importance by the conscious intellect. But these are things for the psychologist to untangle.
Art reaches its greatest peak when devoid of self-consciousn ess.
A work of art doesn't dare you to realize it. It germinates and gestates by itself.
I have no ideas about what the paintings imply about the world. I don't think that's a painter's business. He just paints paintings without a conscious reason.
I don't think my paintings are self-conscious but you feel the consciousness of them. Without them being self-conscious.
I would often draw in my sleep. That alone made for twice the work... I couldn't use the weird stuff I drew while dozing off, so I'd end up having to draw it all over again.
When I try and extract what it is about my music that I do or love or try to create, I'm never aware of it at the time. I just make something.
The drawings that interest me most are made with closed eyes. With eyes closed, I feel my hand slide down on the paper. I have an image in mind, but the results always surprise me.
I see things in the middle of the night. I draw them on paper and I don't even think about it. I'm like a machine in a way - just made of some electronic stuff. Vaguely digital.
