Lot Essay

'Coming into the studio I think, what shall I paint? I'll challenge myself, for instance by painting flowers… the long history of flower painting means there are certain expectations in place for the genre. So in a way I try to make an image which acknowledges all that; at the same time undermines it a little bit, tries to set itself against it in some way. There is a degree of play, a responsiveness in myself to what I am doing on the canvas.' ANSEL KRUT
