"While reviewing with my brilliant colleague @museumaddict, we discussed what feels like Helen Franenthaler's dyeing technique, but figurative. There also seems to be an effortless assertiveness about the work that makes me excited to dive deeper into the artist’s practice."

"Her ability to work with material is exciting as well as her approach to make something feel ancient and very contemporary at the same time."

"A multifaceted expression of motherhood. You can see her love for creating an image through this composition."

"Having reviewed her video work and meticulous attention to detail, I am intrigued by this drawing and where she will go from here. After all, her most recent show at Hesse Flatow featured miniature studies of her bedroom furniture."

"I find these sculptures to be captivating; I see Nicole’s ability to maintain a minimalist approach while working with color, formation and scale. I am also very interested by the way she has presented these vessels on unique pedestals."

"Working with simple elements to create detailed design and patterns formed through a self sought practice built through personal experience."

"I think my dear friend Jerry Gagosian said it best in her interview of Aki, 'Goto is proof that Instagram is full of more than just trashy memes (ahem), invasive advertisement, and pictures of people's perfect year-round vacations.' Her work is what I'd call New Wave Instagram Art. Much like the New Wave Cinema from the 1960's, her individualistic video work has a unique style of fast edits of iphone footage, field recordings, sampled sounds, and music. If jazz made a movie with punk, starring children and animals for the attention span of our current generation, you'd arrive at an Aki Goto video work with pure pleasure. Her work is rife with humor, suffering, joy, and the existential moment when you realize they're all bound into one.'"
