"Each of Lisa Bradley's new canvases is utterly still, yet the stillness feels transient - a pause between the pulses of some vast and luminous energy. Entranced, vision follows the glow of her colors into a contemplative state far from the usual topics of art criticism. Why talk about facture, tone, scale and all the rest of it when the attention is absorbed, suspended, in a realm of sheer light? From this sheerness, this immediacy, a Bradley canvas takes a self-sufficiency which vision claims for itself. Why talk when we can simply look?"

(Carter Ratcliff, The Unity of Being, E.M. Donahue Gallery, 1998, solo exhibition)
