QUOTES ABOUT THE ARTIST
“...Peter Cox, who may be the best figurative artist now working in New York” --Critic Mark Daniel Cohen (Review Magazine)
“Cox’s skills in observation and his active imagination allow him to express a unique response to the reality of being human that sets him apart from his peers. The reality of his figures goes beyond the surface.” --John O’Hern, Santa Fe Editor and former Exec. Director and Curator of the Arnot Art Museum, Elmira, NY (American Art Collector magazine)
“Peter Cox is subject to a broader, more complex range of anxieties and social ironies. It is these that give his paintings their uniquely contemporary power.” --Critic Ed McCormack (ARTspeak magazine)
“Peter Cox has such a mastery of medium and human anatomy that he achieves a solidity of form with blood pumping vitality in his subjects whether in a tight rendition, a loose abstraction or an exaggerated color passage. He paints theater on canvas.” --Steve Gibbs, owner of The Art Spirit Gallery (American Art Collector magazine)
