Dancing about Architecture

Wet Paint

“Imagine a city where graffiti wasn’t illegal, a city where everybody could draw whatever they liked. Where every street was awash with a million colours and little phrases. Where standing at a bus stop was never boring. A city that felt like a party where everyone was invited, not just the estate agents and barons of big business. Imagine a city like that and stop leaning against the wall – it’s wet.”   -Banksy

‘Unwordable’ & ‘Unformable’ Things

 

 

“It’s all the unwordable things one wants to write about, just as it’s all the unformable things one wants to paint” -Emily Carr

 

Creativity & Timelessness

Louise Bourgeois

Art is a guaranty of sanity. That is the most important thing I have said.

An artist can show things that other people are terrified of expressing.

To be an artist, you need to exist in a world of silence.

-Louise Bourgeois

Dali

“No masterpiece was ever created by a lazy artist.”

“If you understand a painting beforehand, you might as well not paint it.”

-Salvador Dali

 

Creativity takes Courage

“Creativity takes courage” -Henri Matisse

…so I paint.

“Life obliges me to do something, so I paint”

Rene Magritte

Color, Artists without Art Forms, and Visible Thoughts

“Color is my daylong obsession, joy, and torment.”

Claude Monet

“Like any artist without an art form, she became dangerous.”

Toni Morrison, Sula

“Visible things can be invisible. However, our powers of thought grasp both the visible and the invisible – and I make use of painting to render thoughts visible.”

Rene Magritte
