Paul Russo Black Abstracts : "Paul Russo's work has the ability to span the whole range of abstract painting- from the Suprematist work of the Russian painter Malevich (White on White) to the abstract drip paintings of Pollock and the minimalist black geometrics of Ad Reinhardt - in one fell swoop. What Paul brings to his paintings is so unusual, but obvious, that one wonders why it took so long for it to happen... The result is startlingly original, and both distancing and involving at the same time." -Dennis Carroll, co-owner of the Apex Gallery, Asbury Park New Jersey, USA ( 2007)
