“Things I Never Said,” A Revelatory Group Show Opens at Roxbury Arts Center
"Cena Pohl’s moody blue semi-abstract oil on canvas “Fellas” depicts three almost faceless men in close physical contact . The composition is powerful, the men’s relationships are unknown and certainly open to interpretation, and the image resides just at the edge of danger and menace.
Hudak was attracted to the way “Fellas” fits into the theme. “One is able to understand the personality of the people even while the visual information is kept to a minimum,” says Hudak."

Louise Kalin's Solo Show & The New Voices Exhibit at Longyear Gallery
"Cena Pohl Crane just recently moved her art studio to the Commons Building. She is now upstairs on the second floor and was showing four large pieces. Cena cites some of her influences being the German expressionists: “Nolde, Kirchner, Der Blaue Reiter, those guys, but I’ve always really had a love for Egon Schiele. The way his figures are so emotive”.
Cena’s figures are definitely emotive. In her depictions of women, it’s their poses that stand out, and the color that swirls around them like gauze. Her nudes seem to glow, radiating from the canvas. Cena was also influenced early on by a semester in Florence as an art student, and would spend whole days in the Uffizi Gallery with her sketch pad, developing a passion for Caravaggio and other renaissance painters. The dramatic German and Italian influences merge in her paintings. "
