Jerry Saltz and Don Kimes in Kimes' studio,

  Fowler-Kellogg Galleries, The Chautauqua Institution                                                    

Prince Street Gallery, New York City, 1993

Don Kimes deals with recovery and reinvention, resurrection and recreation - the image literally regenerated by nature and intention.

                                                                                                        Julie Langsam

 Statement for exhibition “Color as Structure”, Frederieke Taylor Gallery, NYC, curated by Julie Langsam

Chautauqua Institution performance with Martha Graham choreographer Kevin Keenan

Montpelier Art Center Galleries, Maryland, 1999

Kimes achieves an iconography of long term turbulence, not  immediate agitation,

which gives us a sense of the earth's age, rather than recent dissarray.
