David Moriarty

Grace Glueck, The New York Times, Février 27, 1998

DAVID MORIARTY, Serge Sorokko Gallery, 430 West Broadway, at Prince Street, (212) 941-8888 (through March 14). Whimsi­cally reinventing the American artistic land­scape, Mr. Moriarty brings to it the conven­tions of Old Master Europeans. A wooden Tro­jan horse stands in a soft setting of horses, wagons and wigwams; a towering cluster of Grecian-style fantasy buildings is viewed across a river by two nude figures in the de­clamatlve poses of French history painting. Frilly decorations, elaborate frames (some­times decorated with bottle caps) and other adornments enhance the entertainment value of these paintings, which is considerable (Glueck).
