About the Work
Since
the
1970s,
Albrecht's
work
has
evolved
from
the
poured
acrylic
'stained
canvases'
for
which
she
first
gained
widespread
recognition,
into
a
pair
of
signature
'shaped-canvas'
formats:
the
hemisphere
(half
circle)
&
the
oval.
These
are
shapes
that
Albrecht
associates
with
particular
meanings
&
states
of
mind.
In
the
shaped-canvas
paintings
she
has
been
producing
since
the
early
1980s,
resonant
combinations
of
colour
and
geometry
create
images
with
a
clear
poetic
impulse,
in
which
references
to
landscape,
family
and
the
cosmos
act
as
emotional
points
of
departure.
