(Nothing but) Flowers ... is actually quite profound, inspiring in its inclusiveness and liberating in its pleasures. Its message is simple but deep: Artists must do what they must do — which means anything and nothing else. -- Roberta Smith * New York Times * Flowers of every size, shape, and color are a'bloom... -- Caroline Goldstein * Artnet * [T]he flow and the syncopation of images, delivers almost as much pleasure as the paintings themselves. -- Andrea K. Scott * New Yorker * (Nothing but) Flowers is wildly diverse; it defies summary or generalization. Its utter vitality demands direct experience. -- Alfred Mac Adam * Brooklyn Rail * [A] range of botanical imagery; abstracted, representational, pensive, airy. Blooms and vegetation appear across picture planes, occasionally as props rather than primary subjects. Some buds are worn away by a process of painterly attrition; others are impossibly precise and well-tended. Pansies inhabit the works of Ann Craven and Joe Brainard, while lovelorn roses bloom and burst across the canvases of Karen Kilimnik and Zenzaburo Kojima. Each arrangement is alive with personality: their biodiverse botanical subjects offer ciphers for people, places, and sentiments. * Spike Art * Standout works included Peter Doig’s luscious oil painting of a lemon branch in bloom, Shannon Cartier Lucy’s hyper-real painting of ribbon-adorned daffodils and Amy Sillman’s delicate pansy acrylics. For those who missed the show, a catalogue of the works is now available, enriched with texts. -- Baya Simmons * Financial Times *
