"Fay Sanders' athletic portraits are bold and unambiguous, replete with active brushwork and saturated color. These pictures don't seem appropriated from sports broadcasts or media imagery, however, as there's a strong  familiarity apparent between subject and painter. An energy exudes directly from the depicted athletes; one can feel a sense of success and accomplishment and a certain quality of sportsmanship recognizable to those who are also physically active in their lives. Sanders' subjects either gaze directly at the viewer or slightly past us and off to the side, their eyes prominent, as if they have their prize in view."

"At once cumbersome and tidy in their assembly, Sarah Tortora’s well-constructed sculptures oscillate between reality and narrative. In a statement, the artist remarks that her work “accepts the premise that every equestrian monument is truly a Trojan horse, and seeks to unveil the passive social conditioning toward our manufactured environments and histories.” A short fantasy novel written by Jorge Luis Borges, titled the “House of Asterion,” is also the title of Tortora’s latest series of sculptures. Notoriously, Borges begins his tales with an outcast or unusual protagonist and ends with an unexpected turn of events. By naming her works after this fiction, I imagine the artist is relating to the central character, who has become trapped in a world of their own creation, which allows for possible new interpretations of infinitude."

"When I viewed Telma Góes works on Foundwork, the first thing that came to mind were blue sun-faded posters from Miami storefront windows in the 90's. There was a certain immediate nostalgia to her works, though upon second glance I saw a simplified and quieter version of Italian Futurism. Referencing the block colors of Fortunato Depero’s works and the cityscapes of Carlo Carrá, mixed with Góes' use of herons, pelicans and penguins, these works are graphic and tenacious. Like the Futurists, Góes experiments with dynamic motion, forced perspective and form."
