"Carrie Moyer’s paintings are bracing blasts from several pasts and look surprisingly contemporary because of the deliberation with which they are made. Starting with the elegant earthiness of raw, unbleached canvas, Ms. Moyer builds thin, levitating strata of contrasting colors, forms and techniques, each with its own set of historical, stylistic and physical references.

Crisp shapes and negative silhouettes often evoke prehistoric goddess statues, rock formations or ceramic vessels. Translucent pours of color suggest natural streams, menstrual blood and the male-dominated history of formalist painting, while textures applied in expanses of hand or finger prints allude to cave paintings but also to 1970s feminism (especially the hand-printed paintings of Harmony Hammond)." - Roberta Smith
