Todd Garner
"Fundamentally I think art is composed of two aspects: the rational and the technical. The rational incorporates invention and intention. This aspect usually gets the labelled as an 'ism'. I suppose, if my work was to be labelled, it would fall into something like 'retro romantic realism'." Todd Garner
