Press
“The cuts Cynthia Hartling makes in her pictures suggest a need to go beyond the optical realm, implying that vision is informed as much by invisible, conceptual layers as it is by what is seen with the eyes.”
—Bernard Yenelouis, 2017/03/05 Brattleboro Museum & Art Center
“Atoms or views of distant universes emerge from an infinitely productive, dun-colored background.”
—Elizabeth Johnson, 2018/02/02 Delicious Line Inc.
“Squares pulsate with energy, in their own universe, amid sheets of tremulous color.”
—James Wylie, 2013/03/04
“Her work feels in part diaristic, as if she is working some immediate thought or emotional process out into the world.”
—Cassandra-Neyenesch, Janet Kurnatowski Gallery, 2010
“The syncopated rhythms of abutting, overlapping shapes hint at the geometric jumble of cityscape, while a curling pale lavender band dominates the top—a touch of kookiness amid the tectonics.”
—Stephen Maine, artcritical, 2010/11/02
“Her use of color is ravishing and deeply personal, from pistachios, aquas, and hot oranges to deep, saturated blacks.”
—Cassandra Neyenesch, The Brooklyn Rail, 2007/03/02
“One leaves the show grateful for these nine moments of insight into Ms. Hartling’s creative process.”
—Benjamin La Rocco, artcritical, 2004/02/01
“The small group of paintings in this gallery debut bears testimony to Hartling’s subtle color
sense, which evokes weathered frescos, or illuminated manuscripts.”
—James Kalm, The Brooklyn Rail, 2004/03/01
“Oil paint is subtly sculpted on the canvas, raising the plane into the viewer’s space, bridging the gap between surface and viewer.”
—A.L. McMichael, After Vasari, 2011/11/10
