New York Magazine, Jan 11, 1999 “The Mod Squad” By Phoebe Hoban. “... Massimo Audiello is another champion of the new painting. Audiello, who had a cutting-edge gallery in the mid-eighties, recently opened Audiello Fine Art in Chelsea. His well-regarded stable of young painters includes Juan Gomez, a 28-year-old Colombian abstract artist in love with big, smoky brushstrokes, and 27-year-old Andy Collins, who is currently in the M.F.A. program at the School of Visual Arts. Gomez, who works in dumbo, the industrial neighborhood just under the Brooklyn Bridge, says that the tiny dimensions of his studio help inform his work, which has such suggestive titles as Any Lewd Debt and Licentious Chore. "It's a 100-square-foot space," says the artist. "I set the painting up and see which direction the paint strokes go in. I like to work really close and in your face."
