Rackstraw Downes says he chooses a site because it satisfies a “personal need” or has a kind of magic, but whatever his reasons are, he seems to choose sites that challenge him as a painter and that remain devoid of narrative, rhetoric and cliché.

"Although Forge worked with two basic marks, a dot and a line, he seems never to repeat himself. Some paintings appear to contain a form, while others are resolutely abstract. Their scale always seems based on the limits of his reach." - John Yau on Andrew Forge for Hyperallergic, 2021

"Looking as if they’ve been painted up, sanded down, rubbed into, scraped away, tossed about, kicked around, and painted up again (and again and again), John Lees’s paintings, are unkempt to the extreme [...] It’s an effect that could easily descend into gimmick, but in Lees’s hands the brunt physicality also leaves room for delicate vision." - The New Criterion Editors on John Lees, 2021

We are pleased to share that Stanley Lewis will be shown in a three person exhibition curated by John Yau at The Milton Resnick and Pat Passlof Foundation! Opening reception Friday, September 18, 2026 from 6 – 8 pm. ⁠
⁠
"In Three Material Views, curator John Yau unites paintings by Eric Aho, Stanley Lewis, and Ying Li—three contemporary artists placed in retrospective dialogue with nineteenth-century American landscapist Albert Pinkham Ryder—that explore the specific materiality of their medium just as they examine its transportive qualities."

"Subtle tensions in Bailey’s oils and temperas between rendering and flatness play off those of saturation and temperature, resonant of Morandi. But observation informs Bailey’s only indirectly; his carefully remembered forms recall Morandi’s circumspect pittura metafisica more than the painterly empirical work." - Margaret McCann on William Bailey in 2018 for the exhibition 'Object Permanence: William Bailey' at the Century Club

Berthot refers to his work as “experiential”, or routed in experience, both his abstract work of the 1960’s and 1970’s as well as his recent work. Ultimately Berthot’s work is as much about place as it is about presence.

"Like the scrappy Neo-Expressionists who crowded the storefront galleries of her early career, Glantzman approaches her art not as a problem to be solved or a craft to be mastered but as a receptacle for outpourings from her emotional well, abandoning the niceties of drawing, color and composition in order to tap a direct line to the canvas from the gut." - Thomas Micchelli for the Brooklyn Rail, 2006

"Mia Westerlund Roosen’s early career unfolded against the backdrop of Minimalism’s heyday, but her work diverged sharply from the austere, industrial ethos of contemporaries, whose machine-informed processes and commitment to art for art’s sake. Where their work was polished, rigid and cold, hers, while similarly monumental, was organic, sensual, tactile and emotional, referencing or evoking geological forms, flesh and other earthly materials." - Christa Terry on Mia Westerlund Roosen for the Observer, 2026

"One can see relationships between the colors and/or tones, but Forge often added a series of unconnected lines or dispersed dots in no apparent pattern to interrupt any visual rhythm that might occur in his paintings. The balance between rhythm and dissonance is always tightly calibrated. We don’t look at these paintings; we look into them, while being conscious of the surface." - John Yau on Andrew Forge for Hyperallergic, 2021
