Memoria: Cuban Art of The 20th Century, the first comprehensive publication on Twentieth Century Cuban art, Dopico-Lerner, pag 144, by José Veigas, 2001

"..On one hand certain elements of this artist's work provoke an illusion of breakage and on the other one an intention to reorganization, both coexisting. His drawing seems to interwine with a specially peculiar energy; one that comes towards the center an the othr that explodes the outside. The first one maintains the figure in plAce. The other one seems to wander the byways as pollock would point out: "leave everything to the will of primitive chaos and to the encounters fate"..

La Subversión de la imagen" by Cándido Gerón, Art Critic, Dominican Republic, 2005

"...HIs work debates between the figurative and the surrealist, two very important issues, if we part from the fact the artist displays technical abilities that visually turn into a progressive artistic maturity and at the same time into very uncommon rhythms from the point of view of reality and memory. It is evident his forms, images, representations, symbols, graphics, and tones are the result of an aesthetic, poetic and human experience that in a greater or lesser measures seem to be unable to explain..."

"The mind/body problem:On the optic and somatic in Vicente Dopico-Lerner's painting by Rául Zamudio, Independent curator, Historian & Art Critic, New York, 2018

"...VICENTE DOPICO LERNER IS A UNIQUE ARTIST AND NOT ONLY BECAUSE OF HIS DISTINCT STYLE, FOR HIS PRACTICE IS POTENTIALLY INFORMED BY OTHER ACTIVITIES OFTEN NOT THE PURVIEW OF HIS ART-MAKING COLLEAGUES. ALTHOUGH HIS MAINSTAY IS PAINTING, DOPICO LERNER HAS VENTURED INTO THE FIELDS OF WRITING AS BONA FIDE ART CRITIC AS WELL AS MUSEUM DIRECTOR WITH ITS ATTENDANT CURATORIAL RESPONSIBILITIES. IT MAY SEEM THAT THIS TRIFECTA OF ACTIVITIES IS EMPHATICALLY DELINEATED, BUT ONE CAN SEE THE THOUGHT PROCESS OF WRITING IN DOPICO LERNER’S PAINTING, RIFE WITH A CONFIDENT MÉTIER AND OSTENSIBLE CALLIGRAPHIC MEANDERINGS OF BRUSHWORK, WHICH ARE NOT DISSIMILAR TO THE MENTAL STEADFASTNESS THAT ACCOMPANIES THE PHYSICAL ACT OF INSCRIPTION. AND EVEN THE MANNER IN WHICH DOPICO LERNER COMPOSES HIS PAINTINGS, IN WHICH SOME SEEM CAREFULLY DESIGNED WHILE OTHERS APPEAR MORE IMPROVISATIONAL, ARE EXECUTED WITH A KIND OF CURATORIAL ACUMEN ALLUDING TO HIS WORK WITHIN THE MUSEUM FIELD. BUT IT’S DOPICO LERNER’S PAINTING THAT FIRST AND FOREMOST SETS HIM APART FROM HIS ARTISTIC PEERS..."

"Encuentro de dos culturas: México y República Dominicana" Catalog written by Cándido Gerón, 2013

"...no hay duda de que los artistas que participan en esta exposición desempeñan un papel central en el desarrollo del arte nacional, latinoamericano, antillano y universal, aun cuando manejan la materia artística desde planos y enfoques muy emblemáticos y contradictorios, ya que cada uno de ellos asume la vida desde una cosmovisión distinta y desde la revelación del yo, el cual representa siempre una acción misteriosa a la de crear la obra..."
"...There is no doubt the artists participating in this exhibition play a central role in the development of national, Latin American, Antillean, and universal art. Even while they worked by articles, approaches, and very emblematic life from a different world view and revelation of the self, which always represents a mysterious action to create the work ... "
