FROM OUR CRITICS

Alex Paik 

Brooklin A. Soumahoro: The Open Window at François Ghebaly gallery

“These luminous paintings are filled with moments of alchemy, transforming discipline into grace, the two dimensional into the three dimensional, and shape into line.”

Claudia Ross

Divya Mehra: The End of You at Night Gallery

“Mehra’s larger installations force theatrical encounters with metaphors for colonization, her wall-based works display the same violence actualized against discrete bodies.”
