Nicole Wermers (B. 1971)

‘It’s hard not to be seduced by Nicole Wermers’ abstract collages... Pink, ivory and sapphire-coloured crystals of the kind that New Age followers believe exert spirit soothing forces are arranged like glowing shards of a broken mirror that seem to grow off the page...the works encourage a somewhat illicit pleasure in formal characteristics such as how light reflects on a material, tonal gradations and the arrangement of forms and colours within a given plane’ (D. Eichler, quoted in, ‘Focus: Nicole Wermers’ in frieze, Issue 93, September 2005, reproduced http:/www.frieze.com/ issue/article/nicole_wermers/).
