“Gregory Gummersall’s pictures, paintings, collages and object assemblages form an entire unity with tensions, but still a homogeneous harmony…..Obviously, C. Gregory Gummersall exactly meets the nerve of time with his acrylic and oil paintings…His works reconcile in a convincing way the two main contradictory tendencies of our century – of abstraction and of representation.”

“The new collage pieces define a wide range of imagery, yet there is a continuity that is sustained….The work has an air of dignity meshed with a pure sense of color and orchestrated form.”

Dennis Yares, Santa Fe Gallery Director/Writer
“Gummersall formulates a distinctive style unto himself. He creates his own personal 'artistic style through the dynamics of his abstract compositions and the use of personal color.” circa 1990

Das Kunstmagazin, Professor Peter Iden, Former Museum Frankfurt Director
“Within the postmodern maelstrom, the arts are made up of individuals who hold the aesthetic values and grammar, which, however mutated, make up their unique individuality. C Gregory Gummersall is one such individual.”

“I have said Gummersall evokes a sense of play. But this is serious play, play of substance and meaning, play that explores the external and ephemeral in the painter’s game of life.”

Betty Ann Brown. California Art Professor/Curator.
“C. Gregory Gummersall’s acrylic/collage on canvas is a study in dripping shapes. The color achieved using acrylic is unmistakable of the medium – pure color plastination – richly and boldly applied. The shapes are aggressive, playful, even phallic with their unapologetic drips flowing out of them, completing their form. In some of his works, the forms peek out from layers of applied paint and collage, others are circles and other infinite shapes combined with the written word and aspects that betray the source of his collage/mixed media materials.”

-Excerpt from Art Scene 6/20/06
“Gummersall’s paintings pulse with bold primary colors that echo the work of the New York School abstract expressionists Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenburg , and Willem de Kooning. Beyond color, he draws on iconography and philosophies of both Western and Eastern traditions.”

-Emily Sachar, NYC Writer 8-2006
