“A movie is painting, it's photography, it's literature - because you have to have the screenplay - it's music. Put a different soundtrack to a comedy and it's a tragedy. A movie combines all those forms and forces you to pay attention for two hours with a group of people.” PeopleTwoDifferentFormLiteratureForceHoursPayAttentionComedyGroupsPaintingPhotographyTragedyPay AttentionScreenplaysSoundtracks Author:Paula Patton

“My working hours are not that conventional. I often get up about two in the morning and do a painting, and then I'll have a bath, and then I often feel very hungry around 4am, so I'll go into Soho and have a meal somewhere like Balans. That's what I love about living here - there's always life around me.” FeelsTwoHoursMorningPaintingHungryGet UpMealsConventionalBathsSoho Author:Stella Vine

“If a film is good, and I'm sort of able to sit there and absorb myself within that world. And get lost. That is a pretty powerful tool.

“It's impossible to predict which paintings will last and which won't. In New Orleans I painted on a dilapidated shop in a street littered with abandoned cars and rotting mattresses, then two hours later the piece was gone.

“For example, in one of my last exhibitions I had a 50-foot massive painting with I think perhaps a hundred thousand hand-painted small flowers. This was the Christ painting [The Dead Christ in the Tomb, 2008] in my Down exhibition [2008]. Now, I simply can't spend eight hours a day painting small, identical flowers. And so I've got a team that allows me to have these grand, sweeping statements.” ThinkingHandsLastsChristHoursTeamFeetExamplePaintingFlowerThousandHundredEightStatementsMassiveIdenticalTombsSweepingExhibitions Author:Kehinde Wiley
