"Michael Pukac's baroque, almost classically narrative paintings — and his interest in the rich symbolism of urban spirituality — makes for a lively portrayal of the heroic vision-quest, with refined classical mimicry and kaleidoscopic, semi-abstract gesture. So no one's better than Pukac to kick off the 99 High Gallery's new painting class series designed to elicit your inner Picasso-Castaña love-child." - Shana Nys Dambrot - Flavorpill.com

"The man is a machine and his more refined oil works are just stunning.." - Andrew Hosner - Sourharvest.com

"Until recently I had never seen or heard of this guy, but now he's at nearly every show I go to now. This probably makes him one of the more prolific live painters in LA." - Terry Kim - The Examiner.com

"You can describe Michael Pukac as Michael Angelo of the 21st century." - Undiscover Magazine

"One of the draws for this show was to see some live painting. It’s like seeing a band live verses hearing their CD,... We watched for 45 minutes as artist extraordinaire, Michael Pukac transformed the blank canvas into a piece of visual stimulation." - Team Goon - Big Wheel Magazine

"Keep an eye out. Look for (Pukac's) overcoat in the Smithsonian. Its destiny." - SFRE from Art Compactor

"(Pukac) serves as a kind of benign Svengali for the group of young collaborators (all a bit enthralled with him)." -Megan Voeller, Creative Loafing.
