“APPLE FACE at Mriya Gallery in Tribeca doesn’t revisit Surrealism—it repositions it for a reality that already feels distorted.” – Grace A. Capobianco, dowtownmagazinenyc.com
“The exhibition brings together six artists working across painting, drawing, and sculpture, each engaging with Surrealism not as a historical style, but as a living framework through which contemporary reality can be interpreted.” – USA Art News

“This exhibition is revelatory in underscoring the individualized approaches of these artists rather than defining the “surreal.” Sometimes this is done rather explicitly, as in Jacques de Beaufort’s neo-Dalí scenes, or much more subtly, as in Kevin Russell Draper’s introduction of a motorcycle and two toy military aircraft in the serious atmosphere of a white-cube gallery.” – Liam Otero, Impulse Magazine
