Michalis Pichler 1. Conceptual painters are mystics rather than rationalists. They leap to conclusions that logic cannot reach.
2. Rational judgements repeat rational judgements.
3. Irrational judgements lead to new experience.
4. Formal painting is essentially rational.
5. Irrational thoughts should be followed absolutely and logically.
6. If the painter changes his/her mind midway through the execution of the piece he/she compromises the result and repeats past results.
7. The painter's will is secondary to the process he/she initiates from idea to completion. His/Her wilfulness may only be ego.
8. When words such as landscape and still life are used, they connote a whole tradition and imply a consequent acceptance of this tradition, thus placing limitations on the painter who would be reluctant to make painting that goes beyond the limitations.
