Kuspit, Donald,, “MFA at VCU” MFA Thesis Exhibition 2003, (Review) May, 2003, p. 5 “Vaughn Whitney Garland makes stunning black paintings, fusing gesturalism- a wide range of surfaces, some thickly applied, some stripped thin- with the post-painterly abstraction of Barnett Newman. It is a postmodern syntheses: Newman’s zips, sometimes brightly colored, form interior boundaries in Garland’s black field, making for a striking contrast. The zips seem lyrical, the black epic and over-whelming and a bit off-putting and over-bearing, but, as ‘Erica’s Vim,’ 2002 makes clear, there is a vigor to Garland’s works which seems to overcome the ‘gravity’ of the black, however much it emerges from it.”
Ryan, Dinah (Contributing Editor, Art Papers Magazine),, “Because There is a ‘B’ in Both,” MFA Thesis Exhibition 2003, (Review) May, 2003, p. 57 “Initially, Vaughn Whitney Garland’s large scale, tarry paintings-with their rutted, scraped, and divided surfaces-would seem to represent a purely process-driven approach. But, integrated within the black paint covering the varicolored grounds, are individuated fingerprints, stress marks, and crumpled passages that Garland refers to as ‘little episodes’ and that relate directly to the ordering of narratives and physical spaces in his experience, as well as to the juxtaposition of boredom and event in epic tales.”

"And of course, this summer painting is to be found everywhere. Down in the Painting Center’s rather warm SoHo space, there’s an intriguing and wide-ranging show called "Building Picturing," featuring artists who have applied here for a show. The works’ styles and assumptions vary as widely as their quality, but there are some real gems on view. I was particularly impressed by Russell Roberts and by Elizabeth Terhune. Featured to the left is her 'Birds Are Off.'"
