“I'm interested in how we define things by how we choose to observe them, and how everywhere in our lives, and in every moment we experience, there are forces at work that we don't fully understand. Couple this curiosity with a love of portraiture painting, and that's how this project was born.” MomentsForceBornOur LivesPaintingCoupleProjectsCuriosityPortraiture Author:Oliver Jeffers

“Humans have changed the landscape so much, but images of the sea could be shared with primordial people. I just project my imagination on to the viewer, even the first human being. I think first and then imagine some scenes. Then I go out and look for them. Or I re-create these images with my camera. I love photography because photography is the most believable medium. Painting can lie, but photography never lies: that is what people used to believe.” PeopleThinkingFirstsBelieveHumansLooksUsedLyingImaginationHuman BeingsImagineSeaChangedPaintingSceneProjectsPhotographyCamerasPhotographerMediumsLandscapeViewersMy ImaginationBelievableNever LiePhotography Love Author:Hiroshi Sugimoto
“I think about my art works as paintings, because they refer to the history of painting. I also have to think about them as sculptures, because every part of the process is part of the project. They're sculptures because they play on the idea of what should be hanging in a gallery. In that sense they're also kind of ready-mades.” ThinkingShouldKindArtMadeIdeasPlayProcessPaintingReadyProjectsSculptureGallery Author:Cory Arcangel
“The problem with success is that you lose the capacity to fail and the capacity to surprise people. So, if I'm able to surprise myself every day, I can surprise you as well. If I enjoy someone's work and they offer me their project, I do it. So what's the point of the supposed creativity? If Mona Lisa could be made by anyone, then it wouldn't have been the most beautiful painting in the world. The knowledge that you can fail can make you come first.” PeopleIfsWorldFirstsWellsHas BeensMadeI CanProblemAbleBeautifulEnjoyLosesCreativityFailingPaintingOffersProjectsCapacitySurpriseMona LisaBeautiful Paintings Author:Shahrukh Khan
