Carson Zullinger has always excelled at storytelling through the body. However, he seems to be exploring the notion that the best stories come from characterization of the whole scene and all its constituent players. His figures work equally as well as co-stars alongside the rich environments he drapes, layers and folds around the body. His relationships then take center stage and the complexity of spaces, forms and textures become something entirely left to chance. Ryan Grover, Sewell C. Biggs Curator of American Art
