"The night skies in Schunnemunk Mountain and Nocturnal Ellipse”are portals leading to infinite space and thus infinite time...Formally speaking, Plimack Mangold’s paintings of nocturnal landscapes are juxtapositions of light and dark, form and light, solidity and diffusion, surface and deep space. The layers of tape, which both frame and define the boundaries of the landscape, serve multiple purposes beyond their functional one." http://hyperallergic.com/49598/why-there-are-great-artists-part-2/
