Lincoln Perry, American, born 1949.
"Lincoln Perry is a painter compelled to grapple with questions
of the utmost complexity and resonance. He has been misclassified
as a realist painter, and while he is indeed one of a very few
who might without irony be called figure painters, he does not
paint from life, and his paintings are never about the specifics
and particularities of a visual perception; their force comes
from the embodiment and investigation of abstract, general ideas,
often in a dialectic framework. Perry's paintings are never arrived
at through the senses, although they may be about the sensual;
most often they are carefully thought-out, metaphysical problems,
expressed in a broad vocabulary of composition, gesture and spatial
metaphor."

Gabor Peterdi, Budapest, Hungary, 1915 - 2001.
"Throughout his life, Gabor Peterdi has not only looked at the
nature surrounding him, he has lived it. Few artists have so completely
realized themselves through an identification with natural processes.
As if proof of the theory of empathy, every form in Peterdi's
mature works, whether perceived in nature or created on the canvas,
is part of a rhythm that pervades his own being. His resistance
to "objective" vision provides us with a heartening manifestation
of an innate belief in the continuity of life as proof against
an alien environment."

Phyllis Seltzer, American, born 1928
"Seltzer's works depict cities, both panoramas and more detailed scenes
of buildings, bridges, or industrial areas, with a personal point of
view. Excellent design and lively color that has recently become even
more electric, communicate the visual stimulation of a pulsating
metropolis."

Stephen Tanis, American, 1945
“For me, each new painting brings its own challenges and its own solutions. In selecting a subject, I eagerly anticipate the demands it will place on my ability to interpret and describe. There are certain characteristics in still-life objects that can evoke a feeling of sensuality, irony, or mystery. The objects themselves often carry symbolic associations.”

Elaine Treisman, American, born 1934
“Treisman is entirely honest with and about herself. She depicts human
life as it is really lived--with its attendant love, hope, doubt, and other felt
emotions Life is flux, after all, and she depicts it with candor, courage,
and, ultimately, acceptance and satisfaction.”John A. Haslem, Jr., PhD |

Joseph White, American, born 1938
White's paintings are complex, yet so simple. One never tires of studying his architectural, landscape and figure works that are reduced to simple geometric shapes painted with all the colors of the spectrum. The paint is thin, almost transparent and the colors melt together to create an other worldly, sublime sensation. |
