    "Tomory Dodge's newest paintings strongly suggest a sophisticated coming to terms with their potential for multiplicity and freedom, while remaining committed to some of the most tried-and-true, even intrinsic, components of painting, which remains a unique enterprise."

    "While it is self-evident that Dodge produces a wide range of surface effects with the paint he uses (all the while reinforcing that the paint itself can also be given many different surfaces as paint), the painting “insists” on its own overall surface. So, then, in the case of another painting like "Horns," the body in and on the body of the painting may be more diffuse that the one in "Wild Fox Body," almost slipping in and out of focus despite the all-over distribution of Dodge’s signature multi-colored zig-zag

    pattern."

    "It’s the kind of experience that, while fleeting, elusive, ghostly, maybe even distant and cool, can leave one feeling desperately present—searching, intimate, connected, warm. It is in providing such moments that Dodge’s paintings establish agency—made by an artist launching into and working through puzzles, fine messes, and maybe even occasional quagmires to world-build within the universe of the canvas, and to propose painting that is informed, astute, imaginative, and alive."

  • "For Dodge, painting is a place where all of the stars in you and me can’t be accounted for numerically or pictorially, but where the feeling and the thought that go with those words can be found, right where the artist found it. Dodge’s paintings are caught in the act, by their maker and their viewers."
