Review
"Grillo played a seminal role in the San Francisco branch of a movement that would revolutionize American art. Today, Grillo is acknowledged as perhaps the first and purest 'action painter' on the West Coast and one of the most influential painters of San Francisco's school of Abstract Expressionism." —Thomas Albright, Art in the San Francisco Bay Area
"A collage of spiraling forms, dazzling color chords, dynamic diagonals, and jump-cut spatial locations, fast rhythms, fleeting fragmentary shapes . . . as hedonistic and full of joy as the best Hoffmans of the sixties, and even more sensuous." —April Kingsley, art critic on Grillo's work
