"The canvases of Deborah Brisker Burk are expressionistic, drawing on early 20th century European painting...her canvases occasionaly incorporate bits of fabric. Burk's life-size, sheep-like creatures add another rustic note to this exhibition".

"Burk has built a career out of portraying the human figure. In the painting "Reinvention", two women are visible within fields of abstract color and grainy, textured paint.In many of Burk's works, her figures are outlined in thick black stroke-a technique which evokes Manet".
