Roger Goldenberg has been praised in the news media as a “high quality abstract artist,” his paintings are “a close metaphor for the best jazz”…remarkable for their “expertly choreographed compositions.” During a Boston exhibition Roger Goldenberg’s paintings were chosen by the Boston Globe’s Calendar Choice as pick of the week. His abstract pieces are like “improvisational conversations in paint” that develop in his subconscious mind. Chris Millis, the former Living Arts Editor for Boston’s South End News and editor for artsMEDIA, exclaimed that “these are paintings you could ‘listen’ to forever.”
After viewing Roger Goldenberg’s solo exhibition at the AVA Gallery and Art Center, art critic and painter Robert Carsten described his students’ response to the exhibition; “They were so energized by your paintings during their work break they couldn’t stop talking about them. Roger,” he exclaimed, “your artwork has the power to move people!”
