According to Gordon Bell at depictionandpainting.net, an art survey, David Wojnarowicz's "timidly painterly or weakly print-sourced work" does not serve "'layout' and depiction", but he does share common attributes with the better realized work of Manuel Ocampo.  More headcramping writing and images at pdf including Wojnarowicz's Water and Ocampo's Once Again, First in the World.
