Description
"Master of my universe? I can't say that. I even wonder if beginnings, when one doesn't control much, aren't the most fertile, precisely because of those technical unknowns that allow for so many possibilities."
— Patrick Bokanowski
"[…] Patrick Bokanoswki regularly draws and paints with his eyes closed. It's about letting oneself be guided by the hand, the gesture, the body and intuition rather than by the intellectual vision of what is happening."
— Pip Chodorov
"L'Ange is there and is not there. […] It does not reign over the scattered world in which one sometimes believes to perceive it. It announces nothing. It is doubtless the messenger of no one, except of the enigmatic light, except of a hidden fire."
— Gilbert Lascault, '' Métamorphoses de la lumière '', Le Monde, 08/04/1984.
