"...these works’ bright sheens and fractured planes may have less to bear on supernatural reckoning, than on the everyday navigating—the continuous decorating, if you will—that is daily life. Time spent doing one thing or another, as meaningful or meaningless as it may be, is rife with both delight and despair. These works have a capaciousness, as if Finley were attempting to fit as much information as possible on the canvas. As hard-edged shapes intersect and overlap in a contest of color, each fragment in each composition appears essential to its cacophonous whole.”

"Until the painting is finished, every aspect of its constellation could change, and this sense of shifting motion remains palpable in the work. His process also drives a relationship between form and color that oscillates between confrontation and symbiosis.”

"Beneath this physical understanding of inflection lurks the way in which meaning inflects material. Shannon Finley’s paintings offer themselves up as sounding boards, ready to bounce off the inflection of connotation, association, and projection inherent in putting abstract painting into language. They can stand on their own."
