Artist's Statement: David Yaghjian

Motel Pool, 2007

Acrylic on canvas

18 x 18 in

$ 1,600

My artist statements need to be written in disappearing ink or constructed in files that delete themselves in a few days as they almost always seem embarrassing and obsolete in about that amount of time. (And its not that the succeeding ones improve on what’s gone before…) But anyway, I paint because I have to. Painting may not keep me sane, but it points me in that direction and gives me temporary relief.
