"...the whole philosophical stance of these paintings is one of revealing that which is already there, a reconfiguration of the essence of moment with a blast. The fact that the explosions are suspended within the edge, that they are that description of moment, marks not so much a process of discovery, as that blast of recognition. Painting can do that"

"...Jaime Gili's work seems to be a meditation on the fact that, as Jean-François Lyotard pointed out repeatedly, a painting or a representation arrives "too early" or "too late." To paint about speed is to miss the point- literally. This impossibility and paradox seems to drive Gili's work; but we are left enigmatically with various insinuations about the consequences of speed and pace: do velocity and energy give way, inevitably, to entropy? Perhaps. Here, Gili's commitment to the openness of form and interpretation -a tension between semantic and formal closure and its lack - might have benefited from being reigned in, or directed in a more intentional way. This was, nonetheless, an impressive London solo debut"

"His hard-edged paintings take their agenda from the livery of modernism, as if he suspects it might
be a rehashable vehicle of emancipation. (...) Gili¹s imagery is commotion slowed to a halt and held up for our scrutiny."
