Doron Langberg on Jess
When I saw “The Enamored Mage” in person I was completely transfixed. Painted with heavy impasto, the protrusions of paint gush out of the surface, some following the image, some swelling under it.
Virginia Wagner on Wangechi Mutu
It was a Lord of the Flies summer. I was coming from an undergraduate art program that served only to nurture the special seed...
Elaine S. Wilson on Sandra Stone
A small painting: 12 inches wide by 16 inches high. Thin, lightly touched scrapes and dabs of paint in ochres, viridian greens, and a flurry of blues.
Judy Glantzman on Dawn Clements

Julian Kreimer on Rufino Tamayo
It doesn’t ask for our attention, rather its very self-sufficiency inspires fascination in us.
Zachary Keeting on Cham Hendon
My friend Cham Hendon died last month. He was a dedicated color renegade, a cool old dude who was easy to be with.
Tom Burckhardt on Allan McCollum
They crack me up as a group; one guy in a monkey-suit tuxedo, not so funny, but a room full, hilarious!
