  'The experience she gained from these paintings seems to have boosted her powers of invention to new heights – as subsequent works such as Travelling Pink Line (1995) and Mount Warning (1995) prove. Manipulating the pitch of colours with extraordinary acuity, confident in her control of spatial illusion, unerring in her judgment of scale, in quest of the trans-cultural and the archetypal in her imagery, exhorting her lines to rear up and dance, Ildiko Kovacs is now 'the complete painter', and things come together in her work in a truly electrifying way.'
