Fred Pollock

My aim when I start a painting is to create a colour composition, which is only complete when my original ideas and pre-conceptions have been replaced by a purely impulsive conclusion, which surprises and satisfies me.

The work must contain an illusion of the third dimension giving a sense of some colours projecting forward from the picture plane and others appearing to recede.

The whole must have a felt continuity across the entire picture surface and not appear broken by a too deep recessive space which is the result of poor colour relationships.
