“We are unhealthy, middle-aged,
dirty-minded, depressed, cynical, empty, tired-brained, seedy, rotten,
dreaming, badly-behaved, ill-mannered, arrogant, intellectual, self-pitying,
honest, successful, hard-working, thoughtful, artistic, religious, fascistic,
blood-thirsty, teasing, destructive, ambitious, colourful, damned, stubborn,
perverted and good. We are artists.”
.
“Art has just
become decoration for the very, very rich. We manage to keep our feet on the
ground. We have never been part of an elitist art group. Our art is so
confrontational that a lot of collectors would never touch it because they
don’t want a naked shit picture in their living room… More and more it is
difficult to speak as an artist. Nobody hears you because there are too many
and there are too many different ways of making art today that there didn’t use
to be when we started out in 1969.”
.
“We never go to
the cinema, the theatre, or the ballet or opera. We stopped 40 years ago. We
just didn’t want to become contaminated. We know what we’re interested in, we
know how we can reach people with a picture. We have a feeling, what we put in
that picture that will mean something to somebody.”
