Plastisch aufgesetzte, vertikale Farbstrukturen, die der Bildfläche dreidimensionale Tiefe verleihen. - Insouciant yet earnest, Andrew Masullo's seriously witty new paintings combine the intellectual rigor of geometric abstraction with the crisp visual hooks of graphic art. Most of the works contrast curvaceous biomorphic shapes with more straight-lined, regular forms, playing subtle games with figure-ground relationships and hints of patterns. The nubby, heavily worked surfaces and determined paint application make the compositions seem stubbornly resolved - like streamlined Rorschach blots inviting narrative interpretations and psychological speculation (Michael Duncan, in: Art in America. Andrew Masullo at Joan T. Washburn, New York. Mai 2003). - Ehemals Joan T. Washburn Gallery, New York. (189)
