Euan Uglow quotes:

I'm interested in color belonging to something, where it takes on a completely new kind of vibrancy, rather than being what you would call straight abstract paintings. And anyway it is so much more exciting trying to find out about the three dimensions of color and sticking it down on a two dimensional surface.

I'm painting an idea not an ideal. Basically I'm trying to paint a structured painting full of controlled, and therefore potent, emotion.

I am trying to find out why a subject does look so marvelous, and trying to make that sensation manifest on a flat surface.

I want the brain to intervene between the observation and the mark.
