critics on bowery artists…
Writing in the Icelandic newspaper Morgunblaoio, Jon B.K. Ransu wrote of BELL’s work that she works “in the spirit of expressionism, even though the paintings are joyful; it caught my attention to see repeated motives so one could dwell on the nuances…” In a review that appeared in the Reading, PA Eagle, Ron Schira said of BERNARD’s still lifes that “…she evokes a deceptive calm, as if a hidden turmoil lurks beneath the otherwise hip domesticity. Her bottles and vegetables, among other things, are twisted and distorted into expressionist shapes and forms that seem to slide off the canvas into space and apprehension.” Lance Esplund wrote in the New York Sun that “John GOODRICH is a gifted, though humble, painter….Here, the artist has reached beyond convention, and beyond compulsory strangeness, to achieve something rich and personal.” Also in the New York Sun , David Cohen wrote of GROSSMAN’s work: “There is a beautiful line in her painting. Strongly reminiscent of Bonnard and Vuillard, it is at once awkward and at ease, tense and felicitous…” Her exhibition was also featured in the Sun’s calendar with a color reproduction…LA PRESTI was discussed on the figurative-painting blog Gabriel Laderman On Art: “His paintings are, in fact, meditative, but they are also full of passion. Passion for the walls, the people, their relationships, the air in the room…and similar passion for the sky and the clouds and the air between us and them…”Mark van Proyen wrote in a catalog essay accompanying a show by PARDEE that “…his recent paintings depart significantly from the works he was producing during the past few years…he has switched to painting images of suburban architecture examined up close in forceful gestures of brilliant acrylic color…This is the kind of inquisitive eye that we find so delightful in the work of Cézanne…”In an article on sacred art for the New York Sun, Lance Esplund wrote about ROSENTHAL’s work: “One of the most compelling works of sacred art made during the last 25 years is a set of stained-glass windows…at Ansche Chesed Synagogue…both beautifully meld Modernist and medieval abstraction….” Reviewing her solo New York exhibition in the Sun, Esplund called ROSENTHAL one of the “strongest abstract painters in New York today…” On artcritical.com, Peter Campion said of her work that “….Her shapes have a playfulness to them. Yet they also feel inevitable, as if they’ve been cut into the world…” She was also discussed in a review by Maureen Mullarkey in the New York Sun…
