The works exhibited are gutsy and timeless—they draw on ancient notions of balance, nature, and invention while asserting their singularity.  As Art Critic Ric Kasini Kadour stated in his essay on Matusz’s work, “They are sensual and mighty, simple and glorious.” 

In 1993, Matusz and Christopher Curtis, (sculptor and co-owner of the West Branch Gallery & Sculpture Park), launched the sculpture park together with their two-man exhibition, Parallel Sentiments. Curtis said of that exhibition, “Parallel Sentiments challenged me to step up to the level of artistic commitment and intensity John had been dedicated to for years.  The success of that show proved to be pivotal for both of us.” This current show is more than an echo of that pioneering exhibition- Matusz, and the works, have seasoned and matured.  The works, which include large scale pieces as well as interior sculptures, are self- contained yet interactive; they refer to the past while looking to the future, and ask us to do the same.
