Reviews
 
"Old techniques, used in new ways", San Francisco based artist Joel Hoyer, has worked in processes of egg tempera painting and metal leaf gilding for more than 30 years. All in all Hoyer's dedication to his media makes for a solid, intriguing body of work.
--Bert Green Fine Art, The Los Angeles Times, 3/26/04
 
"Hoyer's 'Hiding Place' is like a tiny museum or shrine that invites quiet contemplation... With Hoyer's work, there are hidden aspects that make it speak volumes..."
--Michael Welzenbach, Washington Post, 7/22/89
 
"Hoyer's art is intimate and atavistic and projects a personal mythos."
--Michael Welzenback, Washington Post, Critics Pick
 
"Hoyer's exhibit is affirmation of art's infinite possibilities..."
--Daphne Hutchinson, Fauquier Democrat, 9/22/88
 
"Joel Hoyer sees his art as part of a global dialogue."
--Daphne Huchinson, Rabbahannock News, 9/3/87
 
"Joel Hoyer's work builds on tradition while presenting fresh, even naive vision."
--Mary Jo Aagerston, Pentimento, 5/8/83
