Catalogue Note
“There is a contrast between the uniformity of Abts' work overall and the way in which she relinquishes control over form and expression in individual paintings. The result is a succession of unbounded explorations carried out within a framework of tightly controlled variables.” Jo Lawson-Tancred , ‘Tomma Abts' intriguing paintings contain infinite worlds', Apollo Magazine, 11 July 2018, online.
