Schnabel, Julian

I do dream about art, and images come to me in dreams. I am definitely hoping to be in touch with my subconscious. I expect a call any minute.

I don't really care about anatomy. Something perfectly drawn to me is just somebody showing you they can draw.

A lot of what I do is about being in the moment and I think that's hard for people to get. I like it when things suddenly affect the painting. I mix up this red and it affects the whole painting or this little bit of white falls down there, and something changes the whole nature of the thing. The residue on what happens, that's what's in the paintings.

My paintings take up room, they make a stand. People will always react to that. Some people get inspired, others get offended. But, that's good. I like that.
