  • Artist Press: “A serrated, club-like form recurs in Mr. Hewitt’s prints, as do broken ladders and ice. Like the Surrealist, who loved to assemble unrelated objects in apparent disorder, he jumbles odd assortments without regard to scale or structure. Yet everything is suspended in an artificial equilibrium, with tension and dissolution vying for supremacy.” Helen A. Harrison, New York Times, April 9 2000
  • “All of Charlie Hewitt’s art is at once playful and serious, a rare quality it shares with the work of only a handful of other artists: Alexander Calder, Joan Miro, Paul Klee, Pablo Picasso, and Hewitt’s mentor Phil Guston come first to mind.” Edgar Allen Beem, art critic, 2010
