"...and Brian Grima's whose Magrittian Surrealism might see him developing further in that genre."
Emmanuel Fiorentino

The Times - 15 August 1990
" Brian Grima's Dali versus Canaletto is a cross between an artistic game and a stylistic dilemma - one of the best new works in the exhibition."
"Dali versus Canaletto by Brian Grima shows to what extant Maltese artisits are aware of the historic artisitic perspective in art itself translating it into a language of its own existence."
Adrian Stivala

The Times - 24 July 1994
" ...Brian Grima, with his typical liking for surrealistic imagery, takes a detached bird's eye view of the Citadel in Gozo, an island refuge as it sits aplomb upon a sea surrounded outcrop of rock."
Emmanuel Fiorentino

De Lumine Melitensis - 23 October to 12 November 1994

The Times - 18 December 1994
" ...Brian Grima has established himself as being practically the only practising artist to come readily to mind where a surrealistic keynote to his work offers a firm basis."
" Thus with a pride for a cultural and architectural legacy with which he sees his country endowed, Grima uses to the best advantage his impeccable draghtsmanship to create an imagery derived from a mine of Maltese monuments...."
Emmanuel Fiorentino

L-Orizzont - 8 November 1997
" Il-Wirja ta' Brian Grima tista' tigi interpretata bhala vizjoni teatrali mimlija fantasija, nostalgija ghall-passat glorjuz u b'ironija lejn Malta tal-lum"
George Glanville

The Times - 2 November 1997
" The feeling for this transportation of malta-concieved images, so meticulously clean and sharply-defined that even the ticking away of time would not even be picked out in the emanating stillness, runs throughout Grima's current exhibition of 11 paintings and three etchings at the Contemporary Room of the Fine Arts Museum."
Emmanuel Fiorentino

The Malta Indipendent - 2 November 1997
" There is something unmistakably theatrical about Brian Grima's recent paintings. Grima's Malta is more like a ghost town, an island at a standstill, a surreal place without a memory of the last two centuries."
Raphael Vella
