“The spiritual in my art is giving up control. My paintings are based on what I can do, and what I can do is not controlled. So I give up control, and that's the spiritual aspect of the work - taking what comes and relinquishing control. Although they look very controlled, they're really not, because it's all poured paint.” GivingLooksArtI CanSpiritualCan DoPaintingGiving UpArt IsAspectPaintControlledRelinquishingRelinquishing ControlGiving Up Control Author:Pat Steir
“I'm purposeless. I'm making art because I want you to look at that painting and I want it to affect you in some way, to change what you see, to change how you see it. To change how you see something, whatever.” WayWantLooksArtPaintingArt IsI Want You Author:Pat Steir
