“I wasn’t being a great philosopher when I painted. I was pretty down-to-earth (except when I ventured into the cosmos…). This prosaic quality is embodied in the form of violence that can be found at every stage of my painting, right up to the most recent series dealing with war.”

The 8 November 2019 the second volume of the collection of interviews with recipients of Outstanding Merit Prize is available in bookshop. This second tome is dedicated to Jacqueline de Jong – a winner of the 2019 Prize – on the occasion of her exhibition Same Players Shoot Again: Jacqueline de Jong and The Situationist Times at Treize in Paris.
