“Sirugo developed an entirely personal and distinct variation of field painting, a signal achievement that, given its early development, should have been widely recognized for its significance, if it were not for the bias against small Abstract Expressionist paintings... The usage of a small space as a concentrated focus of all one’s mental and physical powers finds exquisite expression in Sirugo’s methods, and the general dimensions of his work have even become smaller, not larger, over the years.”
