Warren Isensee is endlessly resourceful. Within the larger framework of geometric abstraction, with which his work is associated, he is a maverick of many surprises. Even when the formal elements of his work change profoundly, his brilliance of execution—whether we are confronted with a large scale canvas or a very small drawing—remains constant. — Charlotta Kotik in "The Daring Geometries of Warren Isensee"
