Notes
"His paintings sometimes appear spontaneous, fluid and automatic, and at other times more deliberate, but they have in common the articulation of pictorial depth and flat surface. This is achieved through varied brushstrokes, textures and colours combined with lines - personal, prominent calligraphic signs that lie on top or weave in and out of the painted surface."1
