"As a teenager, I remember Philip Johnson walking down his backyard and pointing out a little pavilion that he had built. He said he intentionally made it smaller because he wanted to play with scale. This was the first time I had heard a grown man say, 'play with scale,' and I thought, 'Whoa. Who is this guy?'"

Katherine Bradford

"[With Murray's] representations of cups, it is both a 'picture' of that subject and a monumental (and monumentally disturbing) indication of what a painting can be. The drastic increase in the size of the subject... creates a honey-I-shrunk-the-beholder compression."

Carroll Dunham, Artforum

"[Saccoccio's] paintings are remarkably dependent on scale. They project the seductive power of Gustave Courbet’s forests as well as the dripping grandeur of French Romantic painter Gustave Moreau’s dramatic mystical paintings marked by forceful veils of color.”

Barbara A. MacAdam, The Brooklyn Rail
