Joyce Pensato
Donald in the Closet
For more than three decades, this Brooklyn artist has made demonic black- and- white (or black -and -silver) enamel paintings of cartoon characters. In her Easter Island-meets-Disney-de Kooning-and-Warhol portraits of Bugs Bunny, Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse and others, Pensato combines the gesturalism of action painting, the painterliness of Abstract Expressionism, the blatancy of Pop and the wild style of graffiti.
-Jerry Saltz, 2008
