This is a magnificent painting and truly the work of a master. Certainly one of the world's great artworks, I count myself amongst those who believe it to be the greatest. No doubt it resides in the  ..goto
No apologies necessary, j.p. It's all part of the dialogue, but I think my point was made. We all have a different take on this thing we call art and that makes life interesting.For instance, Hanjo's  ..goto
I know you've been concentrating more and more on your three dimensional works of late and even your earlier paintings are kind of like studies for sculpture. When I look at either your paintings or s ..goto

I really like your paintings. They have a kind of gravitas. Where do get your ideas from? There seems to be some kind of theme yet I can't put my finger on it. Do you work from life or are these imaga ..goto
Me like it. Stuff is really three dimensional. You can look at it from all angles and I think its probably interesting. The metal wire and jute stretched over it probably slows you down. That's why I' ..goto
Thanks for the comments J.P. When I get a chance I'll post some of my earlier, more abstract stuff. The funny thing is beneath the surface of them there's all this very resolved imagery that drove me  ..goto
Wow! My work really seems to open some raw nerve in you. I let those earlier remarks about "figurative baggage", tricks, talent etc. go before because I preferred to think you weren't trying to goad m ..goto
This one here really looks impressive. I wish I could see it larger. This damn computor of mine won't let me click it up. Beautiful colour, form and depth its got that very early and very late Guston  ..goto
I attempt to activate the whole canvas and give equal weight to what you might refer to as the positve and

I like the feeling in all three of your photos. Do you stage manage the settings (I'm asssuming you do) or are they actual moments you capture? ..goto
You make some valid points and good suggestions that I will follow up on and I thank you for that. The circular forms don't come from Bacon. Actually I took Cezanne's advice of the cube, cylinder, con ..goto
Gentlemen, sorry for the delay in my response, I've been somewhat under the weather. Delaney, I appreciate your attempts to rattle my cage and bring out the best in my work. A more direct and urgently ..goto
Hey Delaney, you've got this strangely, lovely, constructive thing going on in your paintings. You're a painter and sculptor. That's a rare thing and you're damn good. I'd like to see the real work. S ..goto
Really joyful work. You must be a really happy guy or an alcaholic. I like all your images. ..goto
I never could read Joyce. I tried but was defeated. Your work has inspired me to go back and give it another go. You are obviously a very literary man and your work is very fragile and delicate. I th ..goto
Actually JP, if there's any tension in my work at all and I hope there is, it comes from that very conflict of resolving the figaritive with the abstract. I think all art, at least good art is an abst ..goto
I Like this painting. Its got a strong Spanish feeling with the suggestion of the bullring and all the lovely red (blood). Picasso was a bull. He was always being phogrographed half naked with his gia ..goto
This is truly a stupendous work. ..goto
I'm always interested in how figurative artists use the camera as a tool. I think you make extremely creative use of it. From what I can see here your work is not only skillfully executed but very gra ..goto
Not a clue. My earlier comment was in jest. You may have noticed that I have slightly warped sense of humour. Actually at the time, I was just experimenting to see how this comment box works. ..goto
Hanjo all your points are well taken, sorry for my slight confusion and I definitely don't want to turn this into a book so I think we should end this one here. Thanks for a fruitful discussion. ..goto
I like your work Antonio. From what I can see of it here and I can't really see much of the surface quality. It doesn't look like your run of the mill photo realist stuff although obviously you work f ..goto

You have an inventory of forms you use. You can pull them out of your hat and produce mural sized walls of the stuff. The fact that they'll be whitewashed the next day doesn't bother you because you h ..goto
There's a time lapse between what you see and what you perceive, just as there's a time lapse between the right and left eyes as they adjust. These slight physiological disturbances are a fact. That's ..goto
Thanks for your comments Hilary. What you describe is basically how I feel most of the time. Maybe it's the booze. But in any case I'm glad you like it. ..goto
J-P, your enthusiasm for this piece surprised me. As I told you I was convalescing and found it difficult to paint standing and I was looking for something I could do while seated.
I had this box  ..goto
You're obviously a person of great intelligence and taste and I bid you welcome to the Art Process site. Seriously though, I do appreciate your kind comments. ..goto
I think you're right to take the attitude you do and you put it well. If we only look to ourselves in the work of others we would never learn anything new. Obviously we all attach ourselves to differe ..goto
Thanks Teresa. Man this site is really happenning. I can't keep up with all the new artists. I just checked out your portfolio and was truly knocked out.  ..goto

I like the paintings very much. Post some information about yourself. If you live in Toronto maybe we can get together and have a smoke. ..goto

That'd great Hanjo, I look forward to seeing them. ..goto
I like all your work a lot. I've seen it on site before and have been meaning to comment. You're a very young fellow and the work is fresh and interesting. So take a word of advice from an old geezer. ..goto
Well Hanjo, I think it's a very interesting work. Certainly your most recent work is much stronger and more masterful and you seem to be on the top of your game however I do like this one too, archec ..goto

Oh yes I should mention that when I checked out your portfolio I found your work to be very interesting.

Hi, Karen. I see you just answered Hillel so you must be on line. Sorry to be using this space but I don't have your personal e-mail. Are you coming to Trapani? And when will you be there? ..goto
Yes, it does! And yes, I will. Only for a few days though... How I would like to have two weeks as well... ..goto

After having seen Paula Rego narration is not a demon for me any more. All the contrary. ..goto
