Q: How would you describe your artworks?
I’ve been asked this on several occasions,
and I always give the same answer which
is that I don’t really attempt to describe my
artworks. I think that’s really for the viewer
to do, or for people who know something
about art. I can’t pretend that I do - I didn’t
study art, I studied photography.
I’m often accused of being a surrealist. *He
chuckles lightly* Technically, I don’t think
what I do is really surrealism. Professor
Ernst Fuchs, along with a few other artists,
started something called “The School of
Fantastic Realism”, in Vienna shortly after
the Second World War and that’s where I’ve
found a spiritual home. I prefer the phrase
“Conceptual Realism” because essentially
that’s what I’m doing - taking the ideas and
concepts that arrive in my tiny mind and
then converting them into a photographic
“reality” via the computer.
