“Gorbaty’s drawings are as cosmically scaled yet as intimate as Leonardo [Divinci]’s. His rapidly flowing water is charged with the same sense of ecstatic turbulence and hypnotic sublimity.”

professor of art history and philosophy.
“Gorbaty is unequivocally a deeply experienced and unimaginably gifted artist-creator-thinker.”
Philip Eliasoph, Ph.D.
