Still Life (detail) |
"His drawings and Still Lifes often appear curled and whorled as if produced in a swirl of electrified haste, but they are nonetheless deeply imbued with intimations. One cannot help but feel that in Macri’s art the birth of the cell is the beginning of raw passion, the latter term to be understood as energy, feeling, changes, and violations of conventional attitudes or standard responses."
~ Kenneth Radu (Cellular Excitement)

"Macri can’t be unaware of the cultural meanings surrounding pink and daringly uses the colour in a series of intense, vulval images, each ironically entitled Still Life. As in all Macri’s work carrying that title, the stillness is pulsing with life. Those familiar with aspects of his art recognize that he’s fascinated with organic principles of vitality, with seeds and germination, with transmutations wrought by external forces acting upon internal compulsions: process and progression, incipience and development, origins and shifting identities. The man has conceptions in mind."
