From Reviews of Michael Winkler's Art: Word shapes: what we mean as what we see. -LIGHTWORKS It's impossible not to try to read meaning into the shapes....With the plain lines, the shapes become dimensional; with the arrows, the letters become like forces in a subatomic particle chamber. -AFTERIMAGE ... many of the word images seem to look like their meaning; 'replicate, ' for instance, is fairly symmetrical, and 'axial' makes a neat 'x' right through the middle of the circle. -THE PRINT COLLECTORS NEWSLETTER Michael Winkler's semiotic sentence paintings sparkle with a sentient specificity.... His way of representing words as spatial shapes is more than a little extraordinary. -PORTLAND PRESS HERALD
