"In her most recent group of paintings, Celeste Rapone addresses a certain feeling of embarrassment around the public expression of ambition, especially for women."
"Rather than lampoon these figures, they are approached with a kind of oblique empathy, hoisted by their own petards."
"Rapone's compositions are spatially complex and require time to unpack - details jostle with general forms in ways that surprise and delight the careful viewer."
"She's thinking about painting strategies, history painting, the big picture in all senses."
