"The painter makes real to others his innermost feelings about all that he cares for. A secret becomes known to everyone who views the picture through the intensity with which it is felt. […] A painter’s tastes must grow out of what so obsesses him in life that he never has to ask himself what it is suitable for him to do in art."

-Lucian Freud, Some Thoughts on Painting (1954)

"It’s common practice in contemporary art to rely heavily on critical supplements to provide the conceptual content. But in illustration, the critical content and image can be structured together metaphorically. This involves the invention or search for a new metaphoric structure that acts as a transformational link between the idea and image."

-Mark Tansey, Notes and Comments (1992)

"I am sometimes asked “What is your objective?” and this I cannot truthfully answer. I work “from” something rather than “towards” something. It is a process of discovery and I will not impose a convenient dogma, however attractive."
