Reviews:

2010 – “Your energy was certainly there in your paintings! Loved the color relationships, freedom in the strokes, partial nature of the compositions!” Alix Hitchcock, Artist, Art Educator, Winston-Salem NC

2010 – “Such power...my eye goes though the same pattern every time. Rich...clean...and tailored. Skillfully done and full of emotion.” Coffee Miklos, Artist, Educator and Welder, Dungeness, WA

2009 - "Alex has 3 confounding bookart pieces in the bookart @ artspace exhibit - people are scared to touch them, but once they do, they can't stop." Michael Pierce, Artist, Curator, Richmond VA

2009 - "These [bookart pieces] evoke memories...very powerful stuff!" Patricia Powell Kessler, Artist, Art Educator, Silver Spring MD

2004 - "Bold and aware." Dr. Rosemarie Anderson, Psychologist, Author and Professor at the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology, Palo Alto CA

2004 - "Your work continues to evolve. I like the idea that the portraits have the same abstract qualities as your landscapes. Your work is really brilliant." James Gregory, Artist, Designer, Author and CEO of CoreBrand, Stamford CT

2003 - "From the Art-o-mat you get a handsomely crafted abstract painting from Alex Norwood's Landscapes from Other Planets series." David Pagel, Art Notes, LA Times, Los Angeles CA

2001 - "Alex Norwood's Yellow Field is an even more striking abstract composition [that] subtly evokes a pastoral landscape. The seemingly effortless, almost accidental-looking manner in which these elements have been combined is reminiscent of Robert Motherwell's paintings." Tom Patterson, Art Columnist, Curator and Author, Winston-Salem NC

2000 - The abstract acrylic paintings of Alex Norwood are elegant statements about color, shape and brush stroke for their own sake. Amy Funderburk, Artist, Exhibitions Coordinator and Art Educator, Winston-Salem NC
