"Although committed to her chosen practice of painting in the most serious way imaginable, there remains a playful streak to Monique van Genderen's wildly ambitious and deliberate approach. It is an approach that tarries with—even luxuriates in, and very consciously so—all the historically loaded, visually enticing, self-contradictory, and more maligned aspects of abstract painting as they have unraveled over the last hundred years or so."
- Dr. Moran Sheleg in "A Conceptual Illusion"

"Since her college days, Van Genderen has toed the line between painting and installation. After graduating from the California Institute of Art in 1991, making large-scale works (that also employed nonconventional materials like vinyl) seemed a useful way to attack the 'problem' of painting as it stood at the time. But large-scale works also facilitated a bolder stance, one capable of competing with the sculptural and conceptual practices then so dominant, enabling a woman artist to take up more space both literally and metaphorically."

"A visitor to her studio once said that encountering a van Genderen mural was like being underwater and on the street at the same time. This fluidity of evocation, the ease with which several opposing ideas, terrains, and feelings can be held simultaneously with minimal drama or conflict, is the lifeblood of her work and what makes it ultimately so pleasurable to experience and to be a part of."

"This is painting as a conceptual illusion, which reaches into our minds through our eyes and thus reverses the age-old adage—echoed by artists from Marcel Duchamp to Gerhard Richter and beyond—that painting is the work of conceit and idiocy. Instead, it imagines what a painting that has the potential to change one’s perspective as a person, however short-lived or unexpected, might look like."

"While the result of a physically laborious and time-consuming process, these paintings are also involved in a mind-bending game of reference and recall, with certain motifs, such as the distinctive green 'single quote' mark appearing across several canvases, culminating in the four 'single quote' paintings seen in this exhibition. The paintings themselves bracket other canvases, as well as the entire installation. Hovering in mid-air, they seem to encapsulate the very idea of quotation itself."
