'I take readymade depictions for I am not trying to solve the style issue and I do not believe in personal style. Style is another convention for art, but if you don’t believe that you must do it, you cannot do it. And I don't believe it' (the artist, quoted in Ivan Chuikov, Moscow: Regina Gallery, 2010, p.102).
