Lot Essay

« Abstrait : abstraction, tirer de, faire venir de… Ma démarche est inverse. Je ne tire pas de la Nature, je vais vers la Nature ». - Jean Paul Riopelle

“Abstract: abstraction, to draw from, bring in from... My approach is the opposite. I do not draw from Nature, I go towards Nature.” - Jean Paul Riopelle
