"...into another world"

Euan Uglow, Title Unkown, ca. 1995, oil on canvas.

"I get a visual experience, and I could say that will be the concept of a painting, but that doesn't mean it's going to be true to life. I may want to be able to say something about that visual idea, but it wouldn't be 'true to life'. It has to be transferred to another world. Well, I think so."
