Rainier Lericolais - Adagio Ma Non Tanto (2007)

«We intend with these works executed by those unscathed by artistic culture, in which, the mimesis has little role in the way that the artist draws everything (subject, choice of material, the creative process, ways of expressing an idea, rhythms, etc) from their own depths and, unlike intellectuals, not from the conventions of classical or fashionable art.» —Jean Dubuffet
