“Bourque’s paintings speak in a language of geometric design, concentric color marks, generous impasto daubs of paint, groups of three or five-panel works with implied schisms or bridges. There is a deep theme of the coexistence of the many in a shared place, where individual story is as important as the full collection. In some the schisms are illustrated and mended, in others the joy of complicated existence fills the frame.”
Madelaine Lord, sculptor and Artscope contributor
“American artist Michael Bourque’s acrylic paintings are a thought provoking mixture of abstraction, repetition, and improvisation”.

“Where Bourque’s work breaks out of the ordinary is in the little vignettes and flashes of genius that he allows to peek through the pattern. His pieces are large-scale both in physical size and in the volume of information they contain”.
