" You either have to find a way to be really creative materially, or you better have a trust fund. And, last I checked, I didn’t have a trust fund. " - Mark Bradford

" Life, work – it’s all very organic and fluid, a laboratory. I always tell people: whatever your thing is, you just have to be in it. Jump in; you’ll figure it out. " - Mark Bradford

" The narrative oftentimes is that everything that comes out of the hood is ‘real,’ and so I thought, ‘I’ll base it on the absurd, the not real. I’ll twist the idea of real on its head and see if I can get away with it. I’ll make paintings that come not from a place but through an abstract gaze.’ " - Mark Bradford
