Quotes, self-promotion:

"Conceptually challenging and also utilizing the most unusual combination of materials, Lisa Kellner has four works in which she combines photographs printed on silk, paper or other materials; snippets of text; and architectural elements including real metal door hinges.  The resulting imagery prompts one to think about human skin as a "canvas" on which other images and objects can be placed.  These works have a somewhat milky look that makes it difficult to get a clear reading on humanity." - Mike Giuliano; The Howard County Times.

"Lisa Kellner also took great advantage of the building, tucking silky cysts into every nook and cranny of an upstairs apartment.  Sunlit and weather cracked, the gray space complimented the bright fuschias and magentas of Kellner's fabric bioforms." - Kriston Capps; Sculpture Magazine.

"Ms. Kellner's graphite drawings take extreme close-ups of skin and imperfections such as moles and hair. They imply damage, whether it comes from outside, in the form of abrasions or too much sun, or inside, from aging or even cancer." - Jennifer Landes; The East Hampton Star.

 "Lisa Kellner contributes a fantastic sculptural painting called Oil Spill. Following in the path set forth by Tara Donovan and Dan Steinhilber, Kellner's piece utilizes a fairly standard household item but in large numbers...Admittedly I am often struck by this type of art. I love the topographical nature of the piece and the seriality of it (we'll see a piece later that makes nothing of seriality). If feels lush and you want to touch it because it looks so soft. A quick reminder that the piece is comprised of thousands of quilting pins and you pull your hand back." - J.T. Kirkland; Thinking About Art Blog
