New York Times, art critic Ken Johnson describes Don Porcella’s paintings as, “…images like Sasquatch lounging in a pink recliner by a wilderness lake and a mobile home trailer on fire are embodied in a thick, sensuously waxy medium.” Drawing from his own imagery of the suburban, and his interest in folk art, cartoons, and science fiction, Porcella’s work allows the subjective and strange to penetrate humorous representations of a wildly imaginative reality.

Village Voice Review of KUNST GRUPPE - April 2008
Village Voice Review of KUNST GRUPPE - a group show that Don Porcella is in at WERKSTATTE Gallery in New York City April 2008.
"Using pipe brushes, Don Porcella has made a hilariously irreverent sculpture of a brat, Art Lover, sticking its tongue out at the artist's own wood-panel paintings."
