'There are observable references to the early german expressionists.'
John Gavin, NY
'Through
the blizzard of paint, Lederle evolves the history of his art:
the quick charcoal life drawings of his years at the San Francisco
Art Institute, their transformation into his blurred oil stick
paintings...that literally trap his
expressionistic figures.'
Laurie Frank, LA
Work on Paper › 'Lederle’s work, too, falls within the ambit of modern expressionism in that it demonstrates, to a certain degree, the failure of traditional symbols to move us and the need to galvanize them with a shot of heroic energy.'
James Scarborough, SF

Biography › 'Encompassing
a variety of styles, it maintains
an ineffable balance... At the center there is calm, control, and powerful emotion. They can be puzzle-like, with a trompe-l’oeuil quality. Figures or shapes disguised within the painting are not at first apparent, but once seen cannot be unseen.'
Mia Taylor, Los Angeles
