Literature & references: Charles Nodrum, Introduction, Samara Adamson-Pinczewski: Mixed Conditions, exhibition catalogue, 2016: "Firstly, these paintings have a visual origin in our daily experience of urban architecture: what she describes as '...reflection and spatial warping... the experience of disorientation... the sense of push-pull... illusory spatial effects...' This is therefore not pure abstraction, rather it seeks to distil our day-to-day visual experience to its bare essentials. The resulting works are mobile n the sense that forms can advance and recede according to one's physical or psychological angle or viewpoint, with readings and interpretations appearing and vanishing with the passing of time. To this she combines a serious knowledge of the new generation of paints, currently still in development, which allow artists to achieve previously unattainable surface qualities. Sadly these subtleties - fluorescent and pearlescent in particular - do not reproduce either online or in print, so the paintings must be seen in the flesh to be fully appreciated."
