Attila Richard Lukacs: Recent Paintings
"What Lukacs has done is to shape work that like stepping on a beetle makes your mouth water at the very time you are disgusted with the popping sound. For some, the pleasure will be the painting as painting, and for others the painting as icon of their dreams — the very facet that disgusts or at least does not attract the others.

So be forewarned what Phyllis Kind has here is sensational — a sensation — in all the ways that makes much of the stuff at the Brooklyn Museim look contrived."

Voice Choices: Attila Richard Lukacs
Untrendier than ever, his large, impressive paintings mythologize a gay Eden in which pain and desire blend with issues of exotism and multicultural stylistic virtuosity.
