I suddenly realized that what I always took for granted seems to be the exception rather than the rule: I do not paint for collectors, buyers, curators, gallery owners, art reviewers and critics and others in the art industry who lives OFF art. No, I paint for the handful of other serious artists, especially those who are yet to be born, and who live FOR art. In other words, I assist in the making , maintenance and development of art (or more specifically the painting discourse and intersubjectivity) history .
