Epiphanies by Steven Arnold

‘Who was it that said “Art is a revolution or it is nothing?” Whoever it was, I agree. Some people don’t get it of course, but when I see someone really getting it, God, it’s thrilling. Especially when people look at my work and laugh. The laughter shows me they’ve been opened up by the images and it’s like applause. As he moves into my images and unpacks his own imagination, we meet, the viewer and I, in that vast space where all art comes from. And in this meeting - call it an epiphany - something is healed. I don’t know what. Perhaps some wound that is common to all of us.’

And Arnold again:

‘Is there something in all of us that knows true civilisation is impossible until the synchronicity of male and female has been embraced by every woman and man?’
