"Ansel Krut and Paul Housley are among a substantial number of painters who have reinvigorated figuration with subversive wit and inventiveness. Krut's 'Whistling Winnie' is amazing in that its cartoonish, curiously composite figure comes across as being simultaneously animate and inanimate, and yet conveys real pathos."

by Aidan Dunne, The Irish Times, an excerpt from his review of 'Precious Things', an exhibition of nineteen painters, curated by Graham Crowley at Highlanes Gallery, Drogheda, Ireland, September 2008.
