Van Renselar the artist - Interview (Page 3)

-Page 3

9. What is the future of your style, how is it going to develop?

I really don't know. It will go where it leads me!

10. What are you working on at the moment?

I have two private commissions which are keeping me quite busy.

11. What tips do you have for other artists who want to get started?

Believe in yourself, just DO IT. Your work is as valid as anybody else's. Try to put aside what you've been taught, more often than not it confines you. Remember, some of the best work has been created by rule-breakers.

12. What have you done to promote yourself as an artist?

I have had a website created (www.van-renselar.com), which appears to have aroused some interest.

13. What do you do in your spare time e.g. hobbies?

I paint! And I read a lot as well.

14. You are often described as an abstract artist, yet your paintings frequently have non-abstract elements, how should we understand them?

These are spontaneous symbols. I have no ongoing iconography of symbols, they are just things that occur to me when making the particular picture, hence their meaning can differ from picture to picture. They only claim a spurious relationship to what they actually resemble. I don’t want my pictures to be 'understood' - deconstructing a picture would be like dividing a poem into its single words. People find meanings and relevance in music and poetry that the writer never put there or intended. That's how I want people to see my art.
