Review

Eric Green - Artists - Dowling Walsh

"In the end, Eric Green is really a stunning blend of his own intuitions, his own struggles, and his own triumphs. We can ask no more of a contemporary artist, at the same time wondering why so few of them – exhibiting this kind of basal aesthetic integrity – grace our galleries today."

—Gerrit Henry, art critic for Art News, Art in America, The New York Times, etc.

 

"I admired your paintings very much; some of them are quite extraordinary and none are ordinary.  You have a real talent and you are working hard and thinking hard, and more power to you."

—John Updike, author of Rabbit Run, and double Pulitzer Prize winner
