Exhibition reviews

Susan Snodgrass, reviewing her 2005 joint exhibition with David Driscoll at Zolla/Lieberman in Art in America saw in her work influences from computer technologies, weaving, and Islamic tiling. In other works on exhibit, Snodgrass saw "[i]ssues of authenticity and pictorial reproduction". [9]

Karen Rapp in reviewing her 2013 exhibition at the Hosfelt Gallery in Art in America writes..."Faruqee’s emphasis on the painterly process in fact gets to the heart of her interests. Serving as more than just optical games, these paintings show the artist embracing the fallibility of materiality---be it the unpredictability of her medium or the inevitability of human error. It is the oscillation between the handmade and the machine like that makes the canvases accomplished and compelling works of art rather than simply visual novelties".... [10]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Lisa Corinne Davis</span> American painter

Lisa Corinne Davis is an American visual artist known for abstract paintings and works on paper that suggest maps and other encoded forms of knowledge. She employs abstraction as a means of rendering the complexities of contemporary experience—including her own as an African-American woman—often questioning preconceived notions about identity, classification, and rationality versus subjectivity. Her densely layered, colorful work merges contrasting schemas, visual elements and formal languages, blurring distinctions between figuration and abstraction, real and fictive spaces and concepts, and microcosmic or macrocosmic reference. Brooklyn Rail critic Joan Waltemath wrote, "The urban experiences of space and time that Davis presents are subtle distillations of moment and coincidence ... Her attempt to map the shattered terrain of contemporary life points both to an awareness of other times and a belief in navigating the present one."
