There was a time I painted so many crabs that they became a kind of trade mark. I liked
to use them instead of human figures, as I was afraid that what I tried to express about
aggression, suffering or caring, could become a touch too theatrical and therefore
ridiculous by using human bodies. Crabs with their great claws and the many limbs of
their ten feet – don’t trust any crab with only eight feet, they’re crap! - allowed every
expression I wanted.
