QUOTES FROM THE ARTIST

“To make something which looks like itself is, therefore, the problem, the solution.”

“My questions about the relation between life and language, the foundation of our sociability, lead me to this conclusion: only the work of art reveals the profound nature of the human being. My pieces resemble words in order to better free themselves from language, mainly writing. I love poetry and literature, but what I want to express cannot be written.”

IN THE EYES OF YVON LAMBERT

“It is at Betty Parsons’ gallery that I had seen for the first time this so disconcerting work. […] It is always difficult for me to speak about him so much my understanding of his work passes almost only by tenderness. For thirty years, I have liked all his work and there is nothing more I can say.”

“It’s that almost nothing so subtle that moves me.”
