REVIEW OF THE “TUNE TONE” EXHIBITION
NEW CENTURY ARTISTS GALLERY
MANHATTAN, NY
from GALLERY AND STUDIO MAGAZINE
Bonnie Goodman’s paintings come off as primarily abstract.
Her “figures” are faceless, featureless two-dimensional entities that hug the picture plane anonymously. Her linear forms resemble sinuous serpents.
The effect of the dualities in her compositions draws you in and leaves you pondering and curious. The paintings of Bonnie Goodman confound all boundaries and categories in the best tradition of The New Abstraction.

REVIEW OF "THE CAULDRON" EXHIBITION
NEW CENTURY ARTISTS GALLERY
MANHATTAN, NY
from GALLERY AND STUDIO MAGAZINE
Bonnie Goodman favors subtly scumbled earthy acrylic hues in her strongly composed compositions informed by a wide range of art historical sources. A consummately sophisticated painter, Goodman, who also draws from mythology and images from our collective unconscious, gives us an especially haunting image in her composition “They’re Not There Anymore”, depicting figures from antiquity lined up on pedestals.

REVIEW OF A ONE-WOMAN ART SHOW, "GRAVEN IMAGES"
BELANTHI GALLERY
BROOKLYN, NY
from ARTSPEAK MAGAZINE
"Graven Images, Symbolist Arcana and the Veils of Bonnie Goodman"
Bonnie Worthman Goodman reveals herself on her solo exhibit of etchings and paintings as an imaginative artist. She is one who digests the storehouse of images and signs of the past to create a new world with the sensation of newness.
