Elke Albrecht

W. F. (collector, New York City)
"Your new work is strong, consistent and original. The move to incorporate vibrant colors adds great depth."
"Strong work, it demands attention, holding the viewer. Not giving one a chance to stray from the painting. Your use of color is exceptional."
W. F. (collector, New York City)
"Elke Albrecht translates her perceptions, experiences, thoughts and desires into her work loaded with controlled sensuality. She accomplishes this through a mindful and delicate use of her material. Her work is unique and subtle." Gallery Huber & Treff
