R.C.: It is not the painting as an image that preoccupies me, the depicting and narrative painting; and it is not the ‚pure‘ painting, cleansed and minimized, but rather a new and abstract and conceptually orientated painting which also involves the motility of the body, space and the surrounding space. It is the painting as an object that interests me. Painting with an expressive touch, namely the brush stroke, but which is still formal and instrumental in its appearance. The principle is that the body reveals its participation in the painting. I must be able to reach the entire length of the painting and this gives rise to a limit: How far can I with my body reach?
