\u201cHe takes the everyday apple on a conceptual voyage through the various phases of art history\u2026The apple was transformed into an abstraction and the fruit became planet-like spheres whirling into a galaxy of Mr. Sunshine\u2019s making.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn this exhibition entitled \u201cWorlds\u201d, the artist shifts direction and mirrors his emotional reactions to the current tragic, terrifying and chaotic state of today\u2019s world, and his private ruminations on mortality.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere is in fact, an air of dramatic harmony and heroic achievement to the sculpture. An anxious mating has been transformed into an intimate embrace. Breast-like apple and phallic lighting elegantly reconcile while keeping their autonomy\u2026 a classical example of dynamic equilibrium.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNorman Sunshine repaints the traditional still-life image of that modern master of the genre, Paul Cezanne combined with a measure of Clyfford Still and Barnett Newman. His means to this end are provocative, and illuminating\u2026 It is the deeply expressive joy Sunshine brings to each canvas \u2013 his joy in the still-life tradition and that he, a post modern artist, has found a way to make it new.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is musical painting, like the best abstract painting, but also oddly realistic. Sunshine places us on the boarder between representation and abstraction and does not tell us which way to turn\u2026 Nothing, then, is static in his still-life paintings. They are in perpetual, conceptual, as well as perceptual process\u2026 a delicious place to be.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
