“I draw to shock myself out of a too-easy rhythm - I may begin with no conception whatever, an image emerges . I rub it out and begin again, searching for its counterpart. When it appears I invariably find that the thing I draw is at my elbow, it is out of the window, or has been standing at my front door for a long time.” MayLongHas BeensEasyDoorsFrontsLong TimeDrawsStandingWindowRhythmShockConceptionElbowsCounterpartsBegin AgainFront Doors Author:Sean William Scott
“Surfaces reveal so much. The marks painters make reveal so much about their work and themselves; their sense of proportion, line, and rhythm is more telling than their signature. Looking at the surfaces of nature may offer equivalent revelations. What do these shapes and patterns reveal about the world and their creator? Surfaces hide so much.” WorldMayLinesOffersShapesMarkPatternsCreatorSurfacePainterRhythmProportionRevelationsTextureSignatures Author:John Paul Caponigro
“I work on two levels. I occupy my conscious mind with things to do, lines to draw, movements to organize, rhythms to invent. In fact, I keep myself occupied. But that allows other things to happen which I'm not controlling... the more I exercise my conscious mind, the more open the other things may find that they can come through.” MindMayTwoFactsHappensLinesLevelsMovementExerciseDrawsConsciousRhythmThings To DoOrganizeConscious Mind Author:Bridget Riley
