Jamali's complex surfaces and mystical imagery have been compared to the neo-expressionists Anselm Kiefer and Georg Baselitz. His gestural techniques link him to Jackson Pollock and the New York school. But the pre-eminent art critic Donald Kuspit has seen that Jamali's singular method requires its own name--mystical expressionism.

...look at the painting in terms of individual colors. In other words, instead of simply glancing at the work, select a specific color such as yellow or a lime green, and take the time to see how it operates across the painting. Approached this way, something happens, I can't explain it. But one must enter the painting through the door of a single color. And then, you can understand what my painting is all about. --Gene Davis in an interview with Donald Wall, in Donald Wall, ed., Gene Davis New York, Praeger Publishers, 1975) p.31

In speaking of Mitchell, others tell us of her "physical materiality" — how she exudes the visual sentiments of nature- the objectivity of her painting, devoid of anecdote or theater and in her own words "to convey the feeling of the dying sunflower."

Her perceptions enrich her work with a fascinating sense of the unfinished. Joan Mitchell demonstrated in painting just as in life-anything can happen. - The Joan Mitchell Foundation

Burhan Dogancay is Turkey’s leading contemporary artist and recipient of his country’s highest medal of distinction, The National Medal of the Arts for Lifetime Achievement and Cultural Contribution. Even though he has spent half of his adult life in New York City, Dogancay retains deep and abiding ties to his native Turkey, where he frequently exhibits. He has recently established a monogram museum which contains his own works in many media and those of his distinguished father, Adil Dogancay.
