Jonathan Podwil
 
 
About the Artist

...Podwil's method involves a painstaking manipulation of his materials, especially in his digitally animated loops, which reveal acts of distortion to the original footage. ... (The)violence of everyday life hovers in the air. The images show how the "blur" can give the most seemingly mundane pictures a threatening quality - demonstrating at the same time that media cross pollination is as rich in possibility as ever.

- Gregory Williams, ARTFORUM

...Mr. Podwil's paintings have at once symbolist charge and postmodern affectlessness...(the) paintings are as much about the state of art as the state of foreign affairs.

- David Cohen, The New York Sun
