Comments-Critiques and Reviews

 

“What impressed me…  is that we have very complex thinkers: Kaloust, Savva-Kornyshev, Gwen Samuels, Jasmin Etemadi. They are willing to break away from generic practice in order to respond to the contemporary world using different media and techniques.”

“In Kaloust’s case it is his graphic power and the intensity of his imagery, the way he mixes his media, using photo, painting and sculpture techniques.”

...there is not much in painting that moves me these days, but your work stands alone. Powerful - challenging and with purpose. Bravo!

...you are gr8 artist and I don't say that lightly. If someone moves me in their art I say so ... if they don't I won't... I was not aware of your work but now thankfully I am. You have a haunting, mysterious and carnivorous (if I may say) power in your art.

Kaloust Guedel has found a territory of artistic expression beyond the bounds of intensity. His work tackles a force unknown.

By Lani Picard

 
 ..."his first in awhile to include figural references. These outsize distorted heads Guedel has radically manipulated with the computer and planted them in his characteristic black washes and sprays. They are painful and at the same time playful reassertions of an existential void, profane yet passionate animations that speak of physical and emotional violence in the same broad but knowing way that a (classic) comic strip does."

By Peter Frank (LA Weekly Art Critique, Los Angeles March 2003)

Assertive, Disciplined. Driven. Self-assured. Exudes full confidence on the part of the artist, both in his vision, and his means. As a result, deeply satisfying and empowering for the viewer.
