The Summer 2011 edition of ArtForum International includes a review of the Dale Chisman In Retrospect exhibition by Kyle MacMillian.
"The first in-depth look at Chisman's accomplishments came recently, with an overdue retrospective at RedLine ...
White the artist never put a premium on innovation, his unexpected quirkiness, as richly evidenced in 'Cake', 2004, shows that he was constantly rethinking his work even as he was maintaining fidelity to his AbEx grounding ...
... As Chisman found relevancy in AbEx into the new millennium, his practice continues to be a significant touchstone for scores of younger artists in Colorado and beyond."

In partnership with the Dale Chisman Estate and Robischon Gallery, Redline presents "In Retrospect: Dale Chisman."
Among the artists to emerge in Colorado during the 1980's, Dale Chisman occupies a stellar position -- a position of achievement that is fused to his authoritative and generous intelligence and to his ability to risk everything on each painting-adventure. He is in a place by himself. The surprisingly diverse ways his influence has taken hold is ample proof of this statement. He deeply affected the evolution -- if not the look -- of contemporary art in Colorado. For that and for the freshness and intelligence of his work he deserves this posthumous retrospective.

"Jorgensen has created a masterwork of beauty, complexity, and emotion. He honors the work and spirit of Dale Chisman." - AUDIOPHILE AUDITION
Inspired by the paintings of his late father-in-law, the prominent abstract-impressionist artist Dale Chisman, drummer Matt Jorgensen has created a recording of all original works drawing influence directly from Chisman paintings, his home city of Denver, his life-long friends, and his constant reinvention as an artist. To properly reflect the power and expanse of Chisman's pieces, Jorgensen, along with his longtime collaborators - trumpeter Thomas Marriott and saxophonist Mark Taylor - expands his own palette from previous recordings, exploring broad new textures and musical landscapes aided by Corey Christiansen's earthy guitar work, bassist Dave Captein, and orchestrations for string quartet.
