“50 Contemporary Artists is a response to publishers, critics and curators who systematically regurgitate the same list of contemporary artists every season.”

“101 Contemporary Artists book has its finger on the pulse of the landscape of Contemporary Art. 101 Contemporary Artists is the go-to guide for collectors, curators, art professionals and enthusiasts interested in the now and next generation of Contemporary Art.”

“Previous pictures I saw of the Indians focused on the suits blocking out the faces. With the incredible amount of work and art that went into these suits, I felt it was important to include the faces of these artists. It felt like it was no longer my art. It was an extension of what they were doing, and a way to honor what they had created.”

“In her paintings Lorien Suárez-Kanerva evinces that post-Cubist heritage, and the Modernist – now neo- Modernist – principles that heritage inheres. Continually researching science and philosophy for further inspiration, Suárez-Kanerva displays – and reaffirms – the complex intellectual and spiritual motivations set forth in Modernist discourse, making her, as stated before, something of a Neo-Modernist and Reconstructivist.”

- Peter Frank Art critic for the Huffington Post

“Shabazz is more closely aligned with forebears like James Van Der Zee and Gordon Parks both Black 20th Century photographers who brought intelligence and insight through images of ordinary citizens that remind us that ‘Black America’ is America, with all its joy, pain, tribulations, and promise.”

- Stephen Wozniak Writer for Whitehot Magazine

“Atmospheric drifts of colors seeping through wet spaces, floating poetic messages as coursing streams changing to transcendental shifts that are evocations of earlier conveyances. Muted flamboyant fires, subtle densities, and permeating tones flash soft fires in rising dashes. In Wei Xiong, we can see how ancient Chinese artists, were writers, whose calligraphy was the basis for traditional Chinese art.”

- Amir Bey Journalist & Writer

"With vivid, rich colors contrasting with monochromatic images, artist Lauren Mendelsohn-Bass creates a hyper-realistic world that’s straight out of film. Using images and themes from popular candies, and contrasting them with lush black and white women, men, and couples, the artist offers viewers a wonderfully visceral contrast between a candy-coated dream world and reality."

- Genie Davis for Art & Cake Magazine

“We all have made mistakes, but we must forgive ourselves and others as true Christians. This is the valuable life lesson learned in the Family/Children’s Book “Smoothing Over the Pudding”. This endearing book is about a Christian 'cat' family and telling the truth no matter the consequences.”

“60 Americans is an anthology of the American condition, its collection of disparate identities serving as an example for what the entire world will eventually look like, if it hasn’t happened already.” 

– Jonathan Goodman Art Writer

“Take the compassionate eye of photographer Walker Evans, add the contemporary tragedy of Hurricane Katrina and a dash of poetry, and you have Terrence Sanders. Sanders’s subjects confront the camera willingly and without coercion, with a variety of attitudes—some are vulnerable, others manage a shy or sheepish smile, a couple of them look high on something; all are united by their education in the School of Hard Knocks.”  

-  JoAnne S. Northrup, Director of Contemporary Art Initiatives at the Nevada Museum of Art and the former Chief Curator at the Katie and Drew Gibson San Jose Museum of Art

“Ya Heard Me,” the third collection in Elmore’s New Orleans trilogy, contains the most recent of her New Orleans photographs. These focus on a rap and bounce scene that extends a rhythmic revolution which began more than a century ago in New Orleans and defines anew the beat for this country’s cutting edge. Elmore focuses squarely on the grills of gold teeth these rappers and bounce artists flash - outlandish and defiant declarations of style within a hostile and threatened environment." 

- Larry Blumenfeld Writer for the Wall Street Journal

“The Lowly Negro is a written account of a poor, destitute and uneducated inner-city Black male’s life and journey in the United States of America. To sustain and survive he must weather the lows, as he weather’s the highs. As an African American he is an invisible man and believes he is the sum of his experiences.”

“Smith’s curation manages that most desirable feat: harmonizing disparate aesthetic approaches around one single, albeit abstract, unifying sensation…..The Smith & Wisznia collection, in person or in print, testifies that art doesn’t flourish from suffering, but in spite of it.” 

– Victoria Benzine Art Writer & Journalist for Whitehot Magazine
