Raoul Middleman on Paul Cezanne
There is almost a metaphysical postponement of finish throughout these portraits, a hesitation as if waiting for an informant of the future to complete them.
John Michael Byrd on Kelli Scott Kelley
To my eyes, this is a love letter to the maternal archetype—the maternal ideal.
Carol Diamond on Al Held
Each hue resonates as cool or warm, deep or shallow, allowing the eye and the sensibility to soak in energy, light and form as pure color sensation.
Yvette Gellis on Katharina Grosse
Then there is the color itself – the purity of color and the psychological effects that pure color can have not only on the eye, but also on one’s emotional states and well-being.
David Humphrey on William John Whittemore
I like thinking, though, that the painting makes a complete body out of dispersed heterogeneous parts, a complicated body constrained and subdivided by guardrails, pedestals, canvas edges, bowler hats and neckties.
Johanna Robinson on Maria Lassnig
… she only painted the parts of her body that she could physically feel in the moment…
Suzanne Stryk on Maria Sibylla Merian
Most alluring to me is her enviable touch—the delicately notched antennae, chomped and curled leaves, or gooey-pale larvae casting shadows as they inch along.
Sam McKinniss on Aaron Zulpo
…the evidence of his happiness made me happy, and for that I was grateful.
Brandi Twilley on Lynette Yiadom-Boakye
… Even as invented portraits, they have that quality that “someone is home.”

Tom Levy on Hans Hartung
But with Hartung it felt different. He did what I am currently trying to do.
Claire Scherzinger on Kelly Richardson
…Her work is a portal for the viewer to step into as the room transforms into a theatre of the mind.
