"Sergej Jensen’s shy, luminous, physically scant paintings, often made of little more than scraps of linen and other found fabrics, are tightrope walkers that travel light. Balancing gracefully between reverence and irreverence while deftly eluding irony, they jettison so much of painting’s traditional baggage."
-Roberta Smith, "A Textured Palette Without Much Paint," The New York Times, 28 January 2011, p. 30
