Joan Thorne
"Ms. Thorne’s new, exuberantly brushy, fruit- and candy-colored canvases fit right in with the permissive pluralism of painting today."

"In the incandescent “Khajaraho Sun,” loopy, impetuously applied, watermelon -colored brushstrokes over a mango-yellow background create a roiling, fiery impression. Enigmatically, a ghostly, olive-green, curvy, triangular figure hovers in the middle of the picture as similarly colored daggerlike shapes point inward from the edges and a green line meanders across the lower section. Optically captivating, the work conveys a state of visceral and cosmic ecstasy."
