A review in Diva publications described Newton’s Imagery as imbued ‘with a inherently disturbing, almost eerie, atmosphere and Feeling’, whilst the editor of State magazine, Mike Von Joel, wrote that his work offers ‘radically Distilled imagery, simple – even childlike iconographies represent a far more primeval Creative force that stir (often uncontrollable) sensations of recognition in those that Take the time to consider and reflect on them’.
