"Amy Sillman's new paintings promote rangy analogies with people, maps, gardens, and diagrams in swoony alternation. They are ravishing, wounded and raving while retaining a high degree of poised formality. Narratives are kindled from the assembled elements; paint daubs accumulate with mosaic density to blossom into foliage, architecture or crowds of former lovers. Sillman’s paintings have a strong personality expressed by loquacious jocularity and confessional intimacy. A radiant brightness saturates her painted atmospheres; horizons curl onto themselves and hapless protagonists are imprinted by anxieties and longings......The mind of these paintings is singular and clusterfucked, splendid and demented. Sillman’s work encourages us to marvel at the ways we can be fascinating strangers, even to ourselves." (David Humphrey, 2005)
