“My experience is that objects come through the wall from the fourth dimension, and sometimes I manage to glimpse them, and sometimes I manage to catch them before they recede. Most of my painting is done intuitively, painting and drawing, and I am simply told what to do. It’s either a voice I can hear or more likely just look and a thought goes off in your mind and you execute it. And I’m trained not to doubt that.” —Max Gimblett (Max Gimblett: Ocean Wheel, 1 August – 15 November 2020)
