A Poetry Of Objects

Ian Findlay, WORLD SCULPTURE NEWS, 1 March 2009

 “These objects plus the paintings, which I call objects, must have three features. One is nonsense, which is to say I don’t have secrets. The second is that it is useless, that it has no function, and that is why it remains a work of art and penetrates a human’s memory. And the third is that it is skill-less, because I have no secret to reveal, so I am making art. Even when I paint, I say to myself that I am making a painting. The word ‘making’ is very important for me.” , says Hassan Sharif.
