Art questions December 2019


Q: Have you done collaborations?

A: No, I've done everything completely by myself.

Most of the faces in my drawings are mine. I don't do self portraits but I use my own face and body for different ideas. As an expressionist who also loves comedy, I wish I had a rubber face. I've still tried to do everything I can with this face.

Q: Are you going to make another film?

A: I've started working on a short wax drawing animation. I'm interested in all elements of filmmaking.

When I was growing up in the 1990s, I was fascinated by movie posters and soundtracks. Most of them were from the 1970s and 80s. They used to be more creative and important. Reading about movies I hadn't seen was also fascinating. I couldn't do the same things now. I couldn't do that with the same kind of intensity.

Q: Are you going to write more music in 2020?

A: There's one jazzy classical piece for my 10th album. The 8th and 9th will be out on January 1, 2020. The music on those is more extreme.

I thought I would be making less music but you never know when the ideas take over.

Our creative subconscious doesn't register wallpaper


Where are the strong images and do they feel interesting?

These are the principal questions I ask myself when I'm experiencing and exploring visual works of art. These are also the principal things we remember from a dream.

The more we see one-dimensional and typical works the hungrier we are for something deeper.

Great artists know how to use simplicity. All my favourite artists from Edvard Munch to Hieronymus Bosch knew how to draw you in.
I can't remember where I first saw Munch's Scream but I remember the feeling.

Puzzled David Hemmings returns to the scene of a murder in Dario Argento's Deep Red (Profondo rosso, 1975).
