"Working on a larger scale, as she does in this exhibition, and evoking different time periods through the often brightly colored and patterned background, Eveleth has opened up an imaginative space that is all her own. As straightforward and direct as the paintings are, there is nothing simple about them. If we are unsure whether Eveleth is being absurdly funny or bitingly satirical, she is likely doing both."

From Emily Eveleth's Doughnuts Bleed for Our Sins by John Yau, Hyperallergic, February 24th 2024

"In her previous exhibition, Eveleth's subjects, depicted in close-up views, were ambiguous and comically obscene. Working on a larger scale, and granting an important role to the background, the artist's mute forms become characters in a silent opera — passive, tragicomic bodies unable to determine their own paths."

- John Yau

"The grotesque isn't overt in Eveleth's paintings, but it is always there."

"And her paintings have become more outrageous. In a world where the accumulation of unlimited wealth is considered an honorable pursuit, Eveleth's paintings remind us of how bizarre and ridiculous human beings can be."

"Eveleth's paintings provoke wild associations. In her work, debauchery and decadence meet in the lowly doughnut, which we are invited to read as a limbless torso with a dripping orifice. These doughnuts bleed for our sins."
