critics on bowery artists…
n a piece about the Bowery Gallery on artcritical.com, its editor David Cohen cited Bowery as one of the longest-running artists' coops in the city, highlighted some of its artists and exhibitions, and observed, "The BOWERY is a prestigious venue." ARMSTRONG's work was discussed in Art New England by Carand Burnet…BERNARD's solo at Bowery was featured on examiner.com by Alison Martin of the Chelsea Art Examiner, who wrote, "Through these paintings, Bernard successfully conveys her sense of the world around her as being wild and out of control by use of vivid colors and rapid brushstrokes." Writing in the New York Times' Museum and Gallery Listings, Roberta Smith said of JOHN BRADFORD's work: "Voluptuous yet brusque and starkly minimal, his oils capture the essential human dramas of Genesis, Exodus and others with brushwork that operates somewhere between Morandi and middle-period de Kooning." In a review of a Zeuxis show in American Artist, Michael Gormley wrote about NOWINSKI: "Her work is foremost about painting and its unique plastic language. Tonal relationships, gesture, and composition are the ascendant concerns in Nowinski's process, and her work references Cézanne, Chardin, and Soutine." In an article for wickedlocal.com/Lincoln, Peter Costa wrote about OSTERMAN working in her studio: "With a steady hand and with bold strokes, she transformed a quiet forest scene into one of motion. Trees seemed to interact and dance with each other on the canvas like woodland demigods in an ancient Greek play." In ARTnews, Barbara Macadam reviewed PARDEE's show, saying that his "…layering of observation and abstraction create luminous collages that combine perception with memory." ROSENTHAL's work in a Painting Center show was discussed by John Goodrich on artcritical.com: "…Rosenthal's compositions of organic, geometric forms and calligraphic marks abound with intimations of lyrical events. Exact significations are less clear, and less crucial, than the sense of a poetic journey and its attendant tribulations." Writing for SouthCoast TODAY, Keith Powers discussed work by Thompson in a group show: "Thompson's two installations…epitomize the sense of small and large, and characterize the creative diversity found in this retrospective. Painting acrylic on metal—with sugar-maple bucket lids for her canvases--she builds architectural 'canvases' with great overall impact, drawn out of minute details." Twitchell's show was "spotlighted" on HuffPostArts; a work in a group show was discussed by John Goodrich in a review in CityArts: "Evoking trees and sky, the earthy greens and silvery blues of Twitchell's canvas exude a meditative luminosity." David Cohen on artcritical.com mentioned her "…penetrating explorations of growth and form [which] included exquisite reliefs in painted plaster…
