Exhibition Catalogue for April Gornik's 2020 exhibition at Miles McEnery Gallery, featuring an essay by Alex Bacon.
"At first glance April Gornik’s land and seascapes seem innocuous, populated by rollicking hills and waves framed by dramatic skies and oceans. We might describe her accomplished painterly style as photo-realistic, but to stay with this reading would be to look only quickly and from a distance. While there is much to see from a quick and distant vantage, the key to appreciating Gornik’s work is to also move in close and pay attention to how she uses touch and composition, as these inflect the central element of her work—which is less what you see than what you feel when you look at her paintings."
