‘Whether they relate to the cycles of the day and the seasons, the ties that connect us to the Earth or the exploration of the solar system, [... Almond’s] works situate us in a complex, sometimes contradictory, relationship with the elements and the phenomena that surround us. A certain fascination and the experience of the sublime are combined with the perception of active and dynamic links; our desire to understand and master the world is mingled with the impression of belonging to the flows that pass through it.’

Christophe Gallois, 2017

‘It all began with being restless, wanting to be more physically involved in the painting. It was really about missing the physical interaction with the hand making gestures, making a mess really. I started with making drawings on top of the blurs, knowing the bars were done as a project, which I’ve never really done before, drawing on top of something else I’d made. I usually begin with an empty space. Anyway, it’s just all these years had passed, and I realized I want to mess around with things. Maybe I became too familiar with technology. It’s time to shake things up. This sounds crazy but I figured out that I could really work the printing ink, and take it off the surface and change it immediately and work it like a wet oil painting.’

Jeff Elrod, 2020

‘I don’t know color theory, and I’m not concerned if I’m doing it right or if I’m doing it wrong. It’s just the way I do it.’

Eddie Martinez, 2018

‘How do you paint the nude, the figure today? The answer is don't try to get away from the past but instead take from it everything you have ever seen and experienced and loved and paint today and then tomorrow and then paint the day after that.’

Richard Prince, 2013

‘I think that my work in general can almost function as a kind-of updated genre painting. […] These very normal activities reflect our bodies and our desires and our habits whether we’re proud of them or ashamed of them, so using these props was kind of a way for me to just have an external emblem of what’s going on internally.’

Grace Weaver, 2022
