“By making changeable and evolving structures, Duarte evokes a ubiquitous aspect of our existence, which, alongside the inclusion of the figures, points to the beauty of human yearning.â€----------------SPARK, KQED Public Televission--------------“Duarte's latest work, a menacing stacked installation and "bloque" (2007), a collision of substances that somehow sounds political undertones, shows him trusting material decisions enough to abandon imagery, finding a new evocative depth as he goes.â€----------Kenneth Baker, San Francisco Chronicle --------------“Duarte's use of simple building materials instead of "high-art" canvas for his surfaces echoes the building cuts of experimental artist Gordon Mata-Clark, who made his name in the '60s and '70s by chopping up houses into art-size pieces and displaying them in galleries.â€----------Michael S. Gant, Metro Active, Sillicon valley ------------“Caleb Duarte, an artist/carpenter, presents tiny flocks _of airborne geese on broken drywall fragments. Like pentimenti (the _ghostly preparatory drawings for frescoes), his lyrical flocks are _almost shadows.â€-----------Lea Feinstein, SF WEEKLY---------------------Duarte's figures have a purity about them, even as they navigate an impure world. The way they float among the scrap suggests vulnerability, but Duarte invests them — as if wishing this upon the world — with awareness of their innate self-worth. -Leah Ollman, The Los Angeles Times........ .........---------- ......... ........ ..........The ego seems to play a real thing as It slowly builds its walls.
