'Gretchen Albrecht has abandoned the freely flowing washes of colour that have distinguished her work for almost a decade. Instead, the major forms in the new paintings have a strong geometric basis, with the circle, or segments of it, being the dominating shape followed by narrow, pointed triangles. As in her early work, the colour is again opaque: but applied with greater control and finesse - skills acquired from mastering the liquid washes in the works that came in between. If the colours are now denser, and therefore speak of different qualities, they still retain their chromatic brightness even if their range differs.'
