Catalogue Note

"Stingel has always gone to extremes, making good-looking, self-referential paintings about painting that somehow manage to both parody and glorify the process while corralling vast amounts of the impinging world in the form of social politics, humor, uncommon beauty and something menacing." - Jerry Saltz ("Icon and Iconoclast," The Village Voice, March 2005)
