“There's something of a painting of a woman that represents all women - and by extension, all of humanity - that I just find very exciting. It's a nice distillation, I think, of what it means to be alive.” ThinkingMeanHumanityNiceAlivePaintingExcitingExtensionsDistillation Author:Will Cotton

“Another thing that you really do when you play, that you're supposed to do, is colors. You know, you cannot play with one color. If you play with one color, again, it's like watching a beautiful painting, a drawing, but it's all in blue or it's all in red. May be very nice, but not very interesting.” IfsKnowsMayPlayBeautifulInterestingNiceColorPaintingRedBlueDrawingVery InterestingVery NiceBeautiful Paintings Author:Itzhak Perlman
“It's helpful for me to get ideas - the physical action of painting. Sometimes it frees up your writer brain. It's nice for me now that the writing has become a serious career that painting can become more like a hobby.” WritingIdeasSometimesActionBrainCareersNicePaintingSeriousHelpfulHobbies Author:Erin Morgenstern
“I don't believe in art like I used to. I believe in something beyond it, something that contains art and everything else. But I just don't quite have the nerve to chuck drawing and painting. Part of it is that I enjoy it too much, and part is that I don't have the courage to renounce the world. I don't want to move out of this nice neighborhood so that I can live in a shed and devote myself to meditating and touching something I can't feel. I'm addicted to the fun of playing in the world.” WorldWantFeelsBelieveArtI CanMovingUsedFunI BelieveEnjoyToo MuchNicePaintingArt IsDon't BelieveI Believe InDrawingNeighborhoodNervesTouchingShedMeditatingRenounceChuckDrawing And Painting Author:Jim Woodring
“I trained as a painter, and I still love painting, but eventually I became aware that the physical aspect of painting didn't really suit me. I didn't enjoy working in the medium. It's very messy. I prefer to have it clean, with a nice computer.” StillsEnjoyNicePaintingComputerAspectCleanMediumsPainterSuitsMessy Author:Loretta Lux
“I think the nice thing about showing work in New York is that other artists come to see it. When you show work in Switzerland or somewhere else, everywhere else seems to be the provinces in a certain way. You wonder what your paintings are doing on the walls and you wonder who's looking at them.” ThinkingWayShowsSeemsArtistCertainWonderNiceNew YorkPaintingWallSomewhere ElseNice ThingsProvincesSwitzerland Author:Julian Schnabel
“The first exhibition that I used bright colours in painting the room was at a gallery in Paris, and there were seven rooms in the gallery. It was very nice gallery, not very big rooms, around the courtyard, it was a very French space. So I painted each room in different colour. When people came to the exhibition, I saw they came with a smile. Everybody smiles - this is something I never saw in my work before.” PeopleFirstsDifferentBigsUsedSpaceRoomsSawsNicePaintingSevenParisColourGalleryVery NiceExhibitionsDifferent Colours Author:Michael Craig-Martin
