Review, 2022: Personal mythology in garter belts, tree stumps, Carolina blue
“A series of equally elegant geometric works reference the shape of many Protestant and Catholic church windows, with texture provided by a thin layer of gray concrete..”
Review, 2022: Personal mythology in garter belts, tree stumps, Carolina blue
“At Sandler Hudson Gallery through January 6, Krista Clark’s After Barkley is a spectacular example of this, with elegant, architecturally influenced mixed-media works referring to the geometry of basketball courts.”
Review, 2022: THE GHOST OF WHAT WAS ALWAYS MEANT TO BE
“This acceptance of what comes throughout the process means that a painting is not right until it is. More than that, “Quick before crying (Bertoni),” unabashedly brings together the visual representation of his practice of many years in a way that long-time followers of his work will appreciate, while still exemplifying the abstraction that defines his painting style, not without a clever nod to Matisse.”
Upcoming Exhibition Opening: Krista Clark

CHERYL GOLDSLEGER’S participation in the European Cultural Centre's 2019 Venice Art Biennale
“Goldsleger's use of an abstract vocabulary allows for multiple interpretations while conveying her sensitivity for the human experience. Her 'diagrammatic images' also suggest natural and societal orders and serve as a reminder of the transitory realities present within contemporary society.”
Personal Structures - Identities runs from May 9 through November 24, 2019.
Review: In Sandler Hudson’s “Recent Drawings,” it’s sort of all in the family
“The work in Recent Drawings provides haunting visual clues and formal links that bring it full circle to its point of origin. That in itself is something worth exploring.”
SENSUALITY, POETRY, INTELLECT BEAM FROM DONNA MINTZ’S GOLDEN EX ASTRIS
“Sensuous in the extreme, Ex Astris is also exceptionally intellectual. This combination is part of what makes it such a high point in this exhibition season.”

Geometry, Visual Play In Tipping Point Illustrate Giant Leap For Painter Don Cooper
“I have little doubt that many viewers won’t find dimensionality in these paintings at all, but most find them compelling in ways they find difficult to define. This is because the particular color combinations and unusual uses of familiar geometric forms create an effect that is ultimately unsettling but in a way that is profoundly pleasing. This work ought to be analyzed at leisure, in some other context, because it raises or touches on major issues of aesthetics and how perception is framed by prior assumptions and present expectations.”

The sensual landscape of William Downs, where gender and time feel totally fluid
“Small figures defined by supple, calligraphic line coexist with larger ones in solid black silhouette. Scale, gender, purpose and time all feel fluid here. The imagery, some of which emerged during the Atlanta artist's session in a sweat lodge, is dream-like, an open-ended parable composed in song.”

Rocío Rodríguez Retrospective At MOCA GA Is Titled Thirty Years, But It Feels Timeless
MOCA GA’s space affords movement, so viewers can decide where to start. There’s a delightful uncertainty about where Rodríguez’s first stroke begins and the last ends, which is almost antithetical to the high-speed video. One of the more fascinating aspects of Thirty Years is the perception that Rodriguez’s journey is one of exponential possibilities. Even the boundaries of paper can’t confine it. The journey only grows livelier in time, with time.”

Kelly Kristin Jones In Rule Breakers
Online Article, Don’t Take Pictures, October 15, 2018
"The photographs have an eerie quality, fragments and digital debris of the process depict the deep wounds of the country’s history. Active debates regarding the removal of these monuments continue to mark and morph the landscape and keep a nation divided. Jones’s deliberate choice of Photoshop technique is about the language we use to progress forward but references a history of disagreement of what that progress looks like."
