"Art commentary" by Marion Wolberg Weiss
"There is a sense of rhythm to Dennis Leri’s metal abstraction series, "Urban Cadence". These structures have their own internal sounds, but also these sounds transcend height and weight, sending lyrical patterns throughout their environment."

"Perspectives" by Eric Ernst
"...new works by Dennis Leri, whose wall piece, "Urban Cadence #1" (welded steel), creates dense and foreboding rhythms through the layering of interlocking planes of metal. The work is deceptively elegant and the artist’s use of melodic interplay of planes and textures is both lyrically poetic and highly evocative."

"Perspectives" by Eric Ernst
"Of particular interest in this year’s installment is Dennis Leri’s ‘Luminous Induction’ (mixed media), which effectively blends the raw power of sculpture with the more delicately ethereal elements of painting. Consisting of an elegantly polished metal form that floats over the brightly painted surface of the work, the piece creates a distinct rhythmic cadence that is powerful and arresting."

"Art Commentary" by Marion Wolberg Weiss
"...Dennis Leri’s mixed media pieces confront construction and material and experimentation with paint cans. Not exactly Warhol’s soup cans, but perhaps along the same lines: the use of common objects…Mr. Leri often uses cans, not merely as an extension of himself, but also as a recycling tool, this notion possibly evoking another theme: rebirth (recalling his homage to the Twin Towers after September 11)."

"Art Commentary" by Marion Wolberg Weiss
"Dennis Leri’s assemblages continue his new series using metal material. One standout is ‘New York Decafe’, a work that lends itself to references and signs. The material in ‘From the Rubble’ evokes flexibility, freedom, density and pliancy."

"From the Studio" by Rose C.S. Slivka
"Dennis Leri’s polished, layered sheet metal sculptures clearly show the nature of materials, individual touch, and vision are the final arbiters in determining the shape of his work. His constructions of shining, interlocking sheets seem as inevitable as they are final and elegant."

"Perspectives" by Eric Ernst
"Dennis Leri’s machine-like assemblages offer a jarring contrast in their metallic materials and yet nevertheless reflect the artist’s highly painterly priorities."

"Art Commentary" by Marion Wolberg Weiss
"Dennis Leri’s series in the exhibit also represents a direct, metaphorical response, like individual works ("West Street") containing pieces of metal. (His "Cherry Blossom Twig" may signify renewal.)

"Opinion" by Brett Littman
"Dennis Leri’s ‘Sienna Blues’, a mixed-media wall piece, explores texture and color, and the mix of oranges and greens is jarring and intriguing."

"From the Studio" by Rose C.S. Slivka
"The poet and sculptor Dennis Leri is outstanding as he incorporates the words of own fine poetry in sheets and layers of bronze and other cast and welded metals."

"Art Commentary" with Marion Wolberg Weiss
"...Mr. Leri’s paintings, which combine abstract imagery with text-the visuals existing as entities by themselves, the words allowing the pieces to become conceptual art."

"Art Commentary" with Marion Wolberg Weiss
"Dennis Leri’s ‘Yet to Be Told’ combines abstraction with actual words which are informally scratched beneath bands of color. It’s a provocative painting, allowing us to think about its meaning."
