This is a painter who paints in the same way that he breathes. He has never sought merely to create beautiful objects, but rather, in the act of painting, to make life possible for himself.(...) His is an art of both knowledge and innocence, and the perpetual freshness of his work derives from the fact that painting is not something that he does and then divorces from himself, but a necessary struggle to gain hold of his own life and place himself in the world. (Northern Lights - The paintings of Jean-Paul Riopelle)
For only in the modern city can the one who sees remain unseen, take his stand in space and yet remain transparent.
