From: George G Category: Art Date: 20 May 2007 Time: 08:24 AM Review: http://www.katemacgarry.com/luke_gottelier2_01.html I liked the darts arrowing the edges of the painting. Yes they looked very good, and original. And I am generally a fan of Gottelier's paintings. But I found these too pared down. Just a squiggle on a black canvas. It's like the darts had seduced him and left him lacking courage on the canvas. A fatal flaw for a painter or boxer. Also could painters stop having a bunch of crafty sculptures lying around in the middle of their exhibitions. It doesn't make painting any cooler.
