Donald Baechler (b. 1956)

'My surface enforces the process of mistakes and erasure and change, it almost insists on change. Not every line goes where I want it to go, so I’ve got to paint it over and start again. For me this is a critical method that builds up a history, or this illusion of history in a painting. It’s much more interesting to have the line go astray, and to corral it back into place' D. Baechler.
