“I paint everyday subjects – places, people and things that make an impression on me. I am a realist in the sense that I try to give the subject its appropriate weight and mooring in space. At this point in history, after the twentieth century, a painter has an immense stock of visual ideas to draw upon, and through my work I’m coming to terms with those possibilities, adapting them to my strain of figuration.” – Joe Forst
