Daniel Birnbaum writes in the 'Cocorico Paintings' catalogue: 'With Cocorico (Cock-a-doodle-doo), I’m drawn in, beckoned into something intriguing. It's not so much the industrial approach and detachment from the production of the works, or the artist's attempt to reduce "creation" to chance and collective mechanics, but rather the transparency of his method. These are not paintings produced by an embodied subject. The subject in question would require countless hands. When I look at these shiny, beautiful surfaces, I can’t help visualizing the frenetic activity of the artist trying not to lose control. I see him first as a spider, then as an octopus, and then as Edward Scissorhands. In any case, the artist cannot be fully human.'
