Lot Essay

“My paintings are not formalist, nor narrative. My paintings are realist and connected to real life, the social field, in brief: action… All my work deals with disrupting the status quo (and the history of like disruptions-mainly focused on the USA between 1958 and the present time)–my lifetime.” (Lionel Bovier, unpublished interview through fax correspondence with Parrino, 1994).
