“Cultural landscapes appear in pieces by Weston Teruya, whose provocative mixed-media works on paper articulate powerful cycles of creation and destruction using an unlikely cosmology of carefully drawn images.” – Glen Helfand, Critic’s Picks, ArtForum.com

"The repetition of images in Weston Teruya's meticulously defined mixed-media pieces implied one complex storyline. Sociopolitical hierarchies, authoritarian insiduousness...could all be extrapolated as reference points--enough to keep any viewer intrigued. That he let his Technicolor imagination take it from there was the viewer's gain." - Kristin Palm, ArtWeek

"Teruya...takes this provocative pairing of social institutions as the jumping off point for his most recent series of work...Not a single human being appears here, but the contested space continues wrestling with its own identity and has yet to yield a winner." - Amber Whiteside, ArtWeek

“Teruya and Carlson's work is both sculptural and engaging, playful and socially conscious.” – Max Goldberg, Flavorpill.com
