  • “The subject of my work is not to create processes and rules – they are just ways of doing my work or fueling my desire to work, painting is a way of exploring ideas and embodying them, so that they can be seen and shared.” i
    —Bernard Frize

    “I like that there are decisions, and that these decisions can be contradicted, that they are in perpetual negotiation and that these negotiations are visible to viewers… Above all, it is important to me that it has more to say on an intellectual level.” ii
    —Bernard Frize
